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.

How the Dems discriminate . . . . against Dems, but in favor of Repubs; How Repubs discriminate

Standard false criticisms that America's authoritarian radical right constantly levels at Dems include constant claims that Dems disrespect, discriminates against and persecutes them. 

A WaPo article (not paywalled) points out how Dem discrimination and oppression plays out two years after the Inflation Reduction Act was passed into law:
Not a single Republican lawmaker voted for the Inflation Reduction Act in 2022. Since then, many of them have voted to repeal its clean energy provisions and criticized the law as a waste of taxpayer money.

But red districts have emerged as the climate law’s biggest winners. According to The Post’s analysis, congressional districts that favored Trump in the 2020 election received three times as much clean energy and manufacturing investments as those that leaned toward Biden.
Little dot on far right: Kentucky 5th congressional district: $150 million investments
1st big far right dot: Texas 19th district: $4.9 billion in investments

Not a single Republican lawmaker in congress voted for the Inflation Reduction Act, but not a single Republican state or federal lawmaker tried to turn the money down.

But, the authoritarians are right, the Dems do discriminate. Being the rabidly tyrannical socialist, communist pedophiles they are, they discriminate against themselves. Dems are just like the Suicide Squad sent to save Brian.

Trump's attitude about disaster relief to
blue states when he was president

Politico reported a few days ago‘Outrageous abuse of power’: Trump spurned disaster pleas amid feud with governor -- Democratic Washington Gov. Jay Inslee had to wait until President Joe Biden took office to get help for a deadly wildfire that occurred during the Trump administration.

See the difference between the two kinds of discrimination?
