What you're doing is white-knighting for the gestapo. That's weird.
Quit trying 'to be fair' towards thugs who absolutely give zero shits about being fair to you.
To be clear: I'm not saying you aren't factually correct. I'm saying that, in the Thunderdome of public sentiment, that sort of comment comes across as excusing fascism and that's why people are rightfully getting pissed off at you for making it.
He"s using synecdoche, saying "DNC" when he means "the majority of prominent Democrats." You're speaking specifically about the actual DNC. That's why you're disagreeing even though you're both right.
Yeah, it's only anecdotal but I feel like hobbyists like us, who do slightly unusual things without nefarious intent, who are the ones who get hit with these sorts of issues the most. For example, I've noticed that some websites start throwing captchas at me or even just straight-up refuse to load with 403: unauthorized errors because I have my router set up to load-balance across two Internet connections. (At least, that's my guess as to why it's happening.)
