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.

Biden’s accomplishments despite rigid Republican opposition

The NYT posted these charts today about what Biden wanted and what he got:


Proposed - $4.4 trillion


Got passed into law - $1.5 trillion



Bipartisan vs. Democrats alone


Notice how Republicans and conservative Democrats opposed and blocked most or all money for most family friendly things like child care, pre-K education, family health, and job training. It is a miracle anything was passed for climate change.

Obviously, the GOP is anti-family, anti-environment, anti-government and anti-worker. So is conservatism in general, Democratic and Republican.
