Do acquaint us with the official Democratic Party position that calls for curtailing speech.

This is yet another canard that was effectively used by the right-wing. Which seems to have no problem with speech curtailment of its own.

But you are, throughout your indictment, conflating personal or institutional positions with the position of the Democratic Party.

I can understand your confusion, because the press has assuredly been all about the repressive Democrats vs. the totes Libertarian Trumpists.
