Rules for Posting Guides on Our Community

1. Defining a Guide Guides are comprehensive reference materials, how-tos, or comparison tables. A guide must be well-organized both in content and layout. Information should be easily accessible without unnecessary navigation. Guides can include flowcharts, step-by-step instructions, or visual references that compare different elements side by side.

2. Infographic Guidelines Infographics are permitted if they are educational and informative. They should aim to convey complex information visually and clearly. However, infographics that primarily serve as visual essays without structured guidance will be subject to removal.

3. Grey Area Moderators may use discretion when deciding to remove posts. If in doubt, message us or use downvotes for content you find inappropriate.

4. Source Attribution If you know the original source of a guide, share it in the comments to credit the creators.

5. Diverse Content To keep our community engaging, avoid saturating the feed with similar topics. Excessive posts on a single topic may be moderated to maintain diversity.

6. Verify in Comments Always check the comments for additional insights or corrections. Moderators rely on community expertise for accuracy.

Jeesh, that timing really couldn't have been better. You say there's no way for the ship to turn and then almost immediately biden let's go of the wheel, yells swerve, and dives into the deep blue. Guess what, the ship is changing course 4 months before the election.

Yeah, it's a terrible direction. I don't see a viable path forward for Democrats now. Biden caved to pressure from fear mongers and a Trump win is looking pretty good. If I took your advice I could vote 3rd party and enjoy my smugness while I watch a new fascist regime take hold.

Or you could have spoken your honest mind months ago, and if enough people had done the same, then we could have gotten someone younger than 80 in there long ago. The thing is, so many people mindlessly worshiped biden as a superhero because he wore a blue tie, and that's what pushed him so far along. Honest discourse - get used to it, it helps.

Yeah, see there you go assuming I wasn't one of those people. I was and still am, but I'm also reasonable. Nothing changes if Joe drops now or 3 months ago - the incumbency advantage is lost and the next available candidates look... Not great. The only difference is that Trump would have more time to attack the opposition. The tradeoff is that doing it now means we have to trust the DNC to run a short campaign effectively, but we've seen that they can't run a long campaign effectively, so it doesn't really matter. If you're in the, "no to fascism" vote crowd, the DNC could put up a turnip and it would get my vote.
