Etiquette



DP Etiquette

First rule: Don't be a jackass.

Other rules: Do not attack or insult people you disagree with. Engage with facts, logic and beliefs. Out of respect for others, please provide some sources for the facts and truths you rely on if you are asked for that. If emotion is getting out of hand, get it back in hand. To limit dehumanizing people, don't call people or whole groups of people disrespectful names, e.g., stupid, dumb or liar. Insulting people is counterproductive to rational discussion. Insult makes people angry and defensive. All points of view are welcome, right, center, left and elsewhere. Just disagree, but don't be belligerent or reject inconvenient facts, truths or defensible reasoning.

A Letter to the Traitors


Dear Senator Cruz,

I write to express my opposition to, and disappointment in, your actions to subvert the 2020 election since November 3. In particular, your participation in the attempted congressional subversion of the election on January 6 and 7 were deeply immoral and frighteningly authoritarian. 

You are educated and intelligent. You know the facts. In view of the facts, how can one rationally explain unjustified support of unfounded allegations of a stolen vote, fraud and/or other widespread irregularities? None of those things exist and you know that. Only false allegations exist. Those unfounded allegations have been rejected at least 60 times in state and federal courts. Apparently, your seditious rhetoric and behavior reflects a burning ambition to run for president. Your false allegations reflect the anti-democratic radical right republican authoritarianism you have come to embrace in your run for power.

It goes without saying that raising the matter of the great shame you should feel for your immoral behavior and rhetoric is futile. You have no shame or morality in you. Your lust for power has swept such weak concerns aside.

Given that sorry state of affairs, when you next run for federal office, I will do everything in my power to oppose you and to support your opponent. Reminding the people of Texas about your unjustified authoritarian actions will be prominent in the criticisms I will publicly level at you.  

You and your despicable authoritarian actions will not be forgotten. Your immoral, authoritarian, deceit-based politics will be called out. You will be opposed by legal means available to me. 

Sincerely,
[Germaine]
San Diego, CA


Email contact info for US Senators is at this link.

Contact info for representatives is messy. Some or most try to limit incoming email by requiring people to put in their zip code as an initial step. Presumably that is used to block correspondence from people outside voting districts. Letters by old-fashioned mail may be the best way to try to contact treasonous representatives.

I plan to write to at least three or four of the senators involved in the attack on the election, Cruz (TX), Hawley (MO), Scott (FL) and Tuberville (AL). Not sure about representatives. The letter will need to be changed to reflect the correct state and for Scott and Tuberville because they may not be planning to run for president in 2024.
