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.

Naming the Traitors

After the coup attempt by the radical right mob failed yesterday, congress finished its job can certified the election win for Biden. Some GOP traitors objected in an effort to try to subvert the election on the basis of no facts. They did this to show their loyalty to the traitor Trump and their own corrupt political careers, not to the constitution, their constituents or democracy. Here is how the Washington Post presents the traitors:






The list is partial. The other traitors are listed in the article. 

Is it worth the effort to write to at least some of the traitors, e.g., Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX), and call them out as traitors and demand their resignations? None will respond, but at least they will get the message that some people see through their self-serving corruption and treason.
