A community for anarchist. Anarchism is a set of philosophies that promotes a world free of hierarchical systems.
No electioneering, no telling people to or not to vote or who to vote for. Interpretating this rule as forbidding critisism of candidates is certainty an interpretation but in the context of an ANARCHIST space it's a bad interpretation.
No bootlicking & that will include being hyper pedantic about people calling politicians, prosecutors, bureaucrats, etc, cops.
Yes, if you're an obnoxious neo-lib you're going to get banned. If you're not obnoxious & have good faith questions you can stay.

What so you think is more probable for a successful politician that has shown to be susceptible to corruption, a change of mind or simple opportunism?
I would be willing to accept the possibility of her views changing if there was any evidence her views have changed. I haven't seen any evidence though, and so I think the safest assumption is that she's still the same woman that kept people in prison past the end of their sentence and denied healthcare to trans people in prison.
Before or after she was part of an administration that continued Trump's border wall policies?
Either.
Changing your mind is something human.
Talk is cheep, every Democratic president in my lifetime has cracked down on immigrants. If Harris does the same are you going help speak out against it or will you just ignore it?
If she changed her mind, why isn't she saying or doing anything about the border wall and the internment camps? She's the VP, she has Biden's ear and can exert tremendous pressure on policy-makers.
Oi, Ranger, while in the spirit of the community is this not technically electioneering? You might want to expand on what you mean in the sidebar.
Saying the emperor has no clothes isn't electioneering.
Standing for a photo op for a job hardly qualifies as support
I've often said that the only hope I see for any sort of meaningful anarchism is that that's what our descendents might build out of the rubble we leave behind.
I never thought it would be put to the test quite so soon though.
