Four years ago, we temporarily lifted the ban on political discussion during the election season. Things remained quite civil, and though we are a much larger community now than we were then, I think we can remain civil this time as well.
A few rules:
-Discussion of politics should be confined to this thread. It is still banned in all other parts of the forum
-Keep it civil and courteous. You may attack another poster's opinion, but you may not attack the person holding the opinion. If you cannot differentiate between these two things, please do not participate in this thread.
-By the same token, please only participate if you have a thick skin. If you are likely to take offense when somebody tears your views to shreds, please do not participate in this thread.
-Religion does, to some extent, play a part in politics in the US. The extent to which discussion of religion is allowed is something we'll be deciding as we go -- but we'll likely be taking a relatively hard-line stance on this. Please only bring religion into the discussion as it relates to the issues, and even then think twice about it. And keep the above rules in mind.
Anyway, all that said, have at it.
