Welcome to the Unpopular Opinion community!


How voting works:

Vote the opposite of the norm.


If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it's something that's widely accepted, give it an arrow down.



Guidelines:

Tag your post, if possible (not required)


  • If your post is a "General" unpopular opinion, start the subject with [GENERAL].
  • If it is a Lemmy-specific unpopular opinion, start it with [LEMMY].


Rules:

1. NO POLITICS


Politics is everywhere. Let's make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.


2. Be civil.


Disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally attack others. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Please also refrain from gatekeeping others' opinions.


3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.


Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.


4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...


Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.


5. No trolling.


This shouldn't need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.



Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/

Fuck Trump, he didn't even show up to the Republican primary debates. If Biden debates him it'll just give Trump more speaking time and publicity.

It'll just collapse into one side devolving into name calling and disconnected phrases, while the other party is trying to speak. The moderator wont shut down the man child because ratings. At this point both sides have already firmly made their choice - these are people we already know.

Yup. Look at the last debate between the two: Trump doesn't debate, he interrupts, shouts over, and gish gallops. You can't debate someone who has no intention of respecting the process.

Donald showed up specifically so he could expose Biden to coronavirus. A less cowardly network would have threatened that he must uphold the rules on distancing or they'll give the spot entirely to Biden.
