:siren:  We're gonna start punishments at 3 days in this thread because fucking hell this topic brings out the worst in this forum.  :siren:

As of January 1/16/2019, we are almost two years away from the 2020 elections.  Naturally, that means several major candidates have already declared that they're running.

Please contextualize your tweet/article content when you post it, thanks.

From the [url=https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3871122&userid=0&perpage=40&pagenumber=1]original 2020 primary thread[/url], too pure for this sinful Earth:


This thread is a huge pain in the ass to moderate and nobody seems to like to argue in good faith so, for this rising phoenix of primary slapfighting we're going to be changing it up a bit.  Instead of having aimless 12 page digressions about whether or not we have sufficiently condemned Tulsi Gabbard for being shit or whatever bullshit, this thread is going to follow News thread-style rules.  Post articles, relevant tweets, or other content, and discuss that content.  If you don't like the current discussion, post different content.  If you're mad that someone thinks you're preferred candidate is irredeemable garbage, then accept that you won't convince each other and move on with your lives.

As per PPJ:


We're probably going to start punishing people for sweeping statements or hard declarations of fact without some kind of meaningful citation.

Horny posting itt will probably result in a month probe.
