So if no one alerts the mods, there's no response.

So if you think a post is an attack on a Democrat, hit the alert button. I have found that if you respond in kind, someone will hit the alert button on you. Even if the alert is warrantless.

While there is an appeals process, it takes time.

Even making factual statements is fraught, because some people apparently take umbrage easily.

So if you are going to criticize Biden, give lots of citations and dot every i and cross every t. Even then prepare your appeal a head of time.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
