(4,311 posts)why would you join a Democratic message board? There must be literally thousands of open discussion boards on the internet.
This board IS self-selecting and it says so right there in the TOS when you join. If you don't want to support Democrats and help Democrats get elected, you don't belong here. Disfavourably comparing ANY Democrat, or for that matter the ficus plant in the corner of my room, to Donald Fucking Trump is disgusting and has no place here.
Why do I choose to "stifle" discussion? Because I can go anywhere out in the world and be surrounded by conservative assholes. I choose to come here where I am SUPPOSED to be surrounded by Democrats. There are still PLENTY of things on which we disagree, but hating Donald fucking Trump and understanding that ANY Democrat is a million times better is not supposed to be one of them.
