Due to some confusion, the /Conservative mod team have decided to clarify rule 2. The actions taken will remain the same, this is a rewrite to hopefully clarify what rule 2 is, and what /Conservative is.
Rule 2 is “posts must be right wing, and comments can be of any political leaning.” This is to garner discussion, to bring to light stories and perspectives that may be absent in other communities. and to allow discussion on these stories and perspectives. Hopefully, that makes sense.
We’re rewriting Rule 2 to read:
Posts must be made from an (American) right-wing perspective. This does not include comments, be as lefty as you want in the comments. If you feel it’s unclear, please check Allside’s Media Bias Chart and feel free to message the mods if you have any questions. We reserve the right to make judgment calls.
If you think that this is unclear, please leave a comment below.
Arguably, you’ve created the problem by being too specific. And it’s your community to run, not mine, so take whatever I say in whatever fashion you prefer, but this is inevitably the end result of trying to make the rules as specific as possible: you get people who just try to work around the exact wording you chose. Fix one loophole, and they’ll find another.
and that is the issue. They are not acting in good faith.
I have many Democrat friends in the real world and they try to have good faith discussions with me. They don’t understand how i can be a Republican and honestly I don’t see how they can be Democrats.
In life though, politics is important but other interests are important as well. We have a lot of other things in common.
I think why it’s hard to be friends with liberal generally speaking is that becomes their whole personality. They are just liberal.
