-
No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.

MODERATORS
These all feel like freakout beatings in attempt to get the voters back from the bad polling numbers of Biden.
I'm not sure they will have the impact desired.
And what impact do people refusing to vote for Biden (in the general) hope to have?
Almost certainly a misguided attempt to show they won't be complicit or go against their own personal morals which is pretty much all anyone has, their view of themselves.
But I'm just saying that instead of listening to that and trying to change tactics the response being:
"Fuck you! You are a monster. Now vote for him or we all die!"
Probably won't work because people dig in their heels when faced with something against their own self ideology. Beatings don't work it just makes the voter base resentful and all the "nuh-uhs" in the world will change that despite people being sure their argument is sound.
