State Democratic Party urges local delegates to keep mum for now – Crain’s*

Members of the Illinois delegation to the upcoming Democratic National Convention in Chicago are being urged by the state party to “hold back from reacting publicly” as top Democrats scramble to either rally around the candidacy of Vice President Kamala Harris or hold a competitive primary.

Not surprised from an outfit that refused, with a few exceptions, to admit the senility of their chosen candidate for president.

Yeah, if only the didn’t punish those who speak their mind, like… I dunno, the Libertarian Party maybe? Can’t think of any other major parties that don’t punish those who don’t tow the line.

Give me one example of the Republican Party – not the voters – but the party itself punishing politicians who don’t tow the line.

Punishment can be done either covertly or overtly and comes in varying degrees as well as numerous ways. It can quickly become a murky concept in debate as surely you know. If pressure is brought to bear the person receiving it likely will think of it as punishment even if others don’t see it that way. Yes, there are all kinds of degrees and types of it.
