No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.

Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.
-
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
What gets me is the Democrats have a candidate who actually supports policies that would enrich the poor and working poor: Marianne Williamson: Universal health care, universal living wages, affordable housing, free college, taxing the ultra wealthy, etc.
You wouldn't have to make excuses for her like you do for Biden. And even better, she can string together a coherent sentence.
This election is a rerun of 2016. You're all ignoring the most important fact, that tens of millions of Americans have experienced such paralyzing inflation that their cost-of-living has become untenable unless they work 2-3 jobs and sacrifice their lives and health in order to do it. I'm seeing it myself, with 80 year-old parents that have to work DoorDash.
They're not going to care that Trump is a fascist. What's going to win this election for Trump is that he can market himself as the candidate of change.
People don't understand the power of this, but that was like, half of obama's whole schtick, his whole charisma, despite being a kind of lukewarm libshit president a lot of the time. There's a lot of power to that kind of marketing, there's a lot of power to the anti-institutional appeal, for americans.
Who?
