-
Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.

No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.

Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.

Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.
-
No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.

...you realize MLK was talking about people like you that would rather throw your hands up and do nothing than help, right?
If Trump wins, minorities and LGBT folks are in danger. That's on you. In the same way that white moderates are critiqued for sitting around and doing nothing in the civil rights era, people who are sitting around and doing nothing against the rise of fascism in that way because they don't want to take the time to focus on who's in danger are to blame. You are the modern white moderate.
I'm not doing nothing. I'm in a non-swing state that'll go Blue no matter what I do. So I'm trying to organize people to vote third party so we can actually get a party that represents the people in. What are you doing??
It wouldn't be on me because I know how the electoral college works and I know that my vote will go to the Dems regardless because I'm in Maryland, it'll be blue as f*** regardless of what I voted for. If you want to spend money, I will bet you any amount of money you would like. That Maryland will be blue and all of its votes will go to Biden. Honestly that second paragraph's Is just protection man. If you are actually doing something or just confused than Good luck to you.
Amazing, you really think that don't you.
