60. Forum rules against bashing Democratic candidates.

Fri Jun 5, 2026, 02:49 PM

Graham Platner is going to be the Democratic standard bearer, and so posts that potentially depress his turnout will be in violation of forum rules.

So, we are all going to get in line after the primary. If you don't want to get in line, which is your right, you won't be allowed to broadcast that position on this forum.

That is my understanding, anyway.

I'd never alert on a post that isn't abusive. But that is a forum rule.
