did my thread on whether any dems are thinking of moving get deleted and if so, why?

Yes, it was deleted because it was a political thread in a non-political forum. Political threads are popping up all over the place and trying to be nice about it has not worked. So no I have to be ruthless.

Ok although my pushback would be that being on the politics forum right now is inviting ourselves (if we are democrats) to be decimated by trolls. that's already happening in our real lives. We are rightfully scared and looking to have a non polarizing, non rage baiting discussion about what steps we are taking to keep ourselves and our families in a good place. The conversation I was looking for was about the idea of changing countries less so than debating whether trump is a terrible thing.

People who disagree with you are not trolls. And there are *plenty* of actual trolls in the political forum who are of the LWNJ variety.

As for you - you are well aware how many threads about liberals supposedly moving to other countries already exist. I think it’s pretty trollish to continue starting the same thread over and over. We all know none of you are actually moving, so stop trying to stir things up. That’s troll behavior.

And finally: “scared”??
