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.

My second-guessing is showing… again.

Yes, you know I’m a second-guesser.  Have been all my life.  I suppose you could say I’m “careful” like that, always weighing the options.

Like most of us Dems, I was super freaked out by the debate performance by Joe Biden last Thursday.  I stated that “even I was warming up” to the idea that he has to drop out and give someone else a better chance.

Here's the reason that changed my mind.  It is well worth the full 17:49 min listen:

Link here.

I realize now, thanks to Mika’s opinion editorial, that dropping out is the worst thing that could happen for the Dems.  Talk about a then “super fractured” party.  Bad, bad, and I mean bad idea.  DJT would benefit from our fracturing and we, in our haste and panic, would catapult the serial liar to a sure victory.

So, barring unforeseen circumstances, I will be sticking with Joe until the end.

What about you?  Will you be sticking with Joe until the end?  I firmly believe that if you/we don’t, like our mistake in 2000 with Ralph Nader, we will be partly responsible for a second+++? Trump term(s).

Make your case.
