Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.

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

Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.
-
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.

If Biden wins again, that would put pressure on Republicans to reevaluate how they've been operating.
That might mean doubling down, but it could also mean changing by shedding their most extreme views and candidates, and moving back towards the middle, or just eventually imploding and having another party take its place.
Can you name a time when a party significantly shifted their platform after a loss?
Seems like "double down" is the only option they choose, at least in my lifetime.
If Biden wins again like this we're going to slide further to the right and the Republicans are going to get even more extreme.
Trump is not the final form of Fascism.
If Trump wins we slide even further than if Biden wins...
No it means that Democrats will need to be actually progressive in 2028 to win back votes.
Unless you buy into the same 2016 fearmongering that Trump is going to end democracy (again)
Cool, good to hear compassion for all those who will suffer in the 4 years until 2028
Good to hear your current compassion for Palestinians being Genocided with weapons supplied by Joe Biden.
