Moderation and enforcement of rules is very much a core part of the Beehaw experience. I appreciate you wanting to raise awareness about your beliefs, but I am not interested in debating them in public. I am very happy to discuss the topic in private with you if you'd like, but my personal policy is to keep political discussions from appearing in my public posts. I don't like to mix politics and pop culture, and I don't think it's appropriate to have political discussions in an environment where people are expected to be able to have fun and relax. If you disagree with this policy, I invite you to take it up with the administrators of this website. We hope you enjoy your stay at Beehaw. We've tried hard to build a place where everyone has the ability to engage with each other in ways that feel comfortable to them without having to worry about toxic individuals.

I'm seeing a lot of people on this sub being extremely critical of Bernie Sanders, and I'm wondering if they're really being critical. When I was in high school (I've only been out of it for a few years), I had an acquaintance who was a socialist who was extremely critical of Bernie Sanders. I was genuinely perplexed, as I had never met a socialist who was critical of Bernie Sanders. I went to high school in a college town, and Bernie Sanders was basically the only public figure that was socialist in this town. Even when we had a couple of Republican politicians on the school board, they were always very critical of Bernie Sanders. This is what I mean by critical of Bernie Sanders. I think Sanders' campaign is going to have a huge effect on American politics. Many socialists are going to be supporting Sanders, and I worry that some people here are going to be critical of Bernie Sanders because of it.
