Basic Rules:

Sh.itjust.works Instance rules apply! If you are from other instances, please be mindful of the rules.

Hate-Speech -- You should be familiar with this one already; practically all instances have the same rules on hate speech.

Apologia -- (Using the Modern terminology for Apologia) No Defending, Denying, Justifying, Bolstering, or Differentiating authoritarian acts or endeavours, whether be a Pro-CCP viewpoint, Stalinism or any variation of Tankie Ideology. There is no justifying Genocide.

Revisionism -- Downplaying or denying atrocities past and present will result in an immediate ban.

Bans typically only last seven days, but repeat infractions will have longer sentences. You may ask to be unbanned.

If you mean her rhetoric, she was just playing the game of politics, and I don't fault her for that.

If you mean not dropping out after it was apparent the moderate candidates were going to coalesce behind Biden, yeah, fuck her.

Would dropping out have done anything? Biden got over 50% of the vote. Burnie and Warren together were only around 33%.

A lot of issues come with the fact that success tends to snowball in primaries, hence why candidates always try to eke out early wins in Iowa, and why Super Tuesday is so important.

This right here, I lived in Georgia in 2020, our votes in the general mattered quite a bit, but by the time we held our primaries it was clear Biden was going to be the nominee even if Bernie won Ga. So my only voice was “not fascism”

Not sure how long "not fascism" will be on the ticket at this rate
