    You certainly don’t have to post any disclaimers. No one is reading them anyhow.

    I can see that. But as I’ve mentioned several times, I believe we should focus on discussing the content of the articles posted from here on out, in order to keep with the spirit of this community. Thank you!

      My understanding of “the spirit of the community,” is defeating fascism. Jill Stein does not fit into that spirit as she has repeatedly failed “the smell test,” among many other things (like being photographed dining with Putin and other fascists).

      Her “campaign” only ever exists to siphon votes from Democratic candidates and allow the Republican to win.

      I honestly hope y’all are literal children, because this isn’t a new phenomenon. Many of us old enough to remember have witnessed this kind of candidate show up at just about every presidential election, and they have only ever accomplished one thing. Every single time.

      When a third party candidate is a possible threat to the GOP, they always drop out (e.g. RDK Jr… There is a reason that he didn’t keep running despite likely having more votes than Stein.

        My understanding of “the spirit of the community,” is defeating fascism.

        And my understanding is that the spirit of the community is discussing political news. Hence the name of the community being called “politics” and in the sidebar it literally says, “Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!”

        Many of us old enough to remember have witnessed this kind of candidate show up at just about every presidential election, and they have only ever accomplished one thing. Every single time.

        I’ve been voting since 1988. :)

                  So because you seemed to have legitimate trouble with reading comprehension, let me break it down for you:

                  I said you “should be embarrassed”. That implies that I’m aware of your lack of embarrassment.

                  Or if that’s too complex for you: I know you’re not embarrassed, but you should be.
