The Rules

Short list. High bar.

1. 1
   Be human.

   Real name or not, show up as a person. No bots, no astroturf, no copy-paste talking points. If you wouldn't say it at a kitchen table, rethink it.

2. 2
   Be American.

   This is a forum about American capitalism and what to do about it. Stay grounded in that reality. Foreign interference — coordinated or not — isn't welcome here.

3. 3
   Don't be a dick.

   Disagree hard. Challenge ideas. But attack the argument, not the person. Cruelty, harassment, and bad-faith pile-ons get you shown the door.

4. 4
   Assume they see everything.

   Because, duh...

5. 5
   Keep it legal.

   I want this site to stay up. Don't give them a reason. This site is dedicated to peaceful, civic resistance.

These rules exist to protect the quality of conversation, not to silence dissent. If you're here in good faith, you'll be fine.
