  1. Be respectful and inclusive.
  2. No harassment, hate speech, or trolling.
  3. Foster a continuous learning environment.
  4. No genocide or atrocity denialism.

I am from there, and I know a lot of great people. But county voting patterns clearly demonstrate vast differences in opinions, and they’re not evenly distributed.

I don’t mean to suggest that a majority of the population is overtly racist and that’s the only factor in our current predicament. I just think it’s larger than a lot of people expect.

Where have you visited?

Yeah I'd agree with all of that.

Been to California (San Diego, LA and SF), Nevada (Vegas really but I did go through death valley which was cool), New York, DC and Virginia so far so definitely more left leaning areas.
