Unsafe Space Guidelines

This is a political discussion group. You will hear many points of view from people of different political, religious, and philosophical stances. Obviously this can lead to a lot of turmoil, so here are some guidelines you should follow to make sure we all try to be respectful of everyone.

Guidelines

1. You are here to learn new perspectives, convincing others of why you are right is secondary.
2. Do your research before responding to factual posts. Supply links that you have thoroughly read to defend your arguments.
3. Images with captions are strongly discouraged. If you post graphics or videos, be sure they are not intended to provoke the other side.
4. Don't let your emotions take over. If you are angry, take a few minutes off to figure out why you are upset and respond if you have to. Passive aggressive posts are strongly discouraged. Try not to call people racists, sexists or bigots unless you provide valid reasons.
5. Try to focus on the arguments, and not the individual. Your criticisms should be as productive to the discussion as possible.

Introduction post

If you are new here, feel free to make an intro post to talk about yourself and explain a few of your ideologies. It is not necessary to make a post, but it would help people who aren't aware of your background to get a sense of where you align on the political spectrum.

Leaving Comments

Do not make a new comment if you are replying to another person's comment. Press "Reply" under the comment you are talking about and address their points. If you want to make a new comment about the post in general, feel free to start a new comment thread. This is to keep things concise and easy to read so others can follow along better.
