A community dedicated to democracy!

Where mods will be elected on a regular basis, and can be repealed, and decisions are made as a community.

Rules with regards to how the community is run can be changed, as long as they don't serve to prevent oppression of groups or speech.

Community rules:

Posting/Commenting rules:

  1. Be civil - No personal attacks, flaming, hate speech, baiting, trolling, doxing, etc.

  2. No bigotry or racism. This is an inclusive space.

  3. No low-effort or title-only posts.

  4. Use article titles and source & don't editorialize

  5. Don't use all capital letters in titles.

  6. Don't downvote based on your opinion.

  7. No inciting posting & bad faith arguing.

  8. Report users who violate rules.

I value having a cool head. I really do. I want wisdom and reason to prevail. But, Lord, I’ll tell you, I’m feeling hotheaded today. I’m hot under the collar and itching for action. I’m chaffing at the evil that’s happening right before our eyes.

I’m frustrated by the pundits and think tanks talking calmly about the erosion of our democracy and making distinctions between fascism and competitive authoritarianism. Today, right now, those reasoned commentaries and thoughtful discussions feel like lies.

Lies about the five-alarm fire before us. Talk when we need action.

I need to take some calming breaths.
