Umm, . . . what about Socialists? Can they discuss the policies of the Democrat Party, since they are likely to vote for Senator Sanders?
[n.b. The actual Socialist Party USA candidates are Emidio "Mimi" Soltysik (California) for President and Angela Walker (Wisconsin) for Vice President, but DonDiego supposes many members will vote for Senator Sanders.]
Oh, and Independents ? Are they permitted to discuss the activities of any political party, or none?
DonDiego just wants to know the acceptable limits upon his right to free speech.

What about Democrats who are legitimately troubled that Senator Sanders may be cheated out of the nomination by super delegates?
What about Republicans who are legitimately troubled that Mister Trump may be cheated out of the nomination by super delegates?
Are they permitted to express their opinions?...

I have just received a very important postcard from the Fresno County Clerk. As a registered Non Partisan, I have the option to request a vote by mail presidential primary ballot from one of three parties. Democratic. American Independent. Libertarian. I am not allowed to vote as a non-partisan in the Primary for Republican, Green or Peace and Freedom party.
For my June 2016 California Primary I intend to vote for Senator Bernie Sanders. Even though there is much of his philosophy, policies and ideas I don't agree with, I think he would make a better president than Hillary Clinton. I think he is more honest and trustworthy..... We need change...that we can believe in....not a Crony Capitalist love fest in Washington...Not a big donor driven agenda of more of the same.
And....so.....now I believe I have also earned the message board cred to express my opinion of our Democrat primary without being labeled a "two-faced, phony "concern troll". I am an official California voter who is truly concerned about the Democratic party candidate and whether the selection process for that person is fair. I got skin in the game.
And for the record, I think our selection process sucks. These Establishment Biased Super Delegates must go. That's taking the selection out of our hands. You know...We the people. And if there are any other shenanigans here in our primary...rest assured, I'll be watching and reporting.
Finally I'd like to thank the Democratic Party of California for being so inclusive as to allow a person like me....with no party....to help you select a candidate for President of the United States. It's a great honor to be entrusted with this important responsibility.
And to the Republicans, Greens and Peace and Freedomers...Please consider ending your exclusionary primary and open up the tent to more voters. It might even help you in the general election.
