A vote for Trump was "bad behavior" imo.

We complain all the time here about the bad things Americans are doing. Voting for Trump was an exceptionally bad thing to do, so I don't see why discussing it should be off limits.

So you ARE accusing DUers of not voting for Harris. That's sad. Scrivener7 Jan 25 #58

I read that post the opposite way. yardwork Jan 28 #86

The discussion is about whether we need regular screeds against those who didn't vote for Harris on a site Scrivener7 Jan 28 #88

I just don't read it that way. yardwork Jan 28 #89

You don't have to agree with the objection. But the point is that the post is saying those who do object are guilty. Scrivener7 Jan 28 #94
