For better and worse, he is a more solemn figure now. His voice is thin and clotted, and his gestures have slowed, but, in our conversation, his mind seemed unchanged. He never bungled a name or a date. At one point, he pulled out a white notecard inscribed with some of Trump’s most alarming comments: his threat to terminate the Constitution, his casual talk of being a dictator on “Day One,” his description of immigrants as “poisoning the blood of our country.” Biden tossed the list on his desk and gave a look of disbelief. “What the hell! ” he said. “If you and I had sat down ten years ago and I said a President is going to say those things, you would have looked at me like, ‘Biden, you’ve lost your senses.’ ”
As long as they are using legitimate sources, I don’t have a problem with what they are submitting.
We don’t intend on running an echo chamber where contrary opinions are forbidden, unless they’re the usual fake, hostile, etc. etc. etc.

It’s GOOD to see things contrary to what you think. It’s CHALLENGING to either come up with a reason to discount that opinion or god forbid adjust your own opinion.
I think it probably would improve the health of the community if people who made personal attacks like the commenter you’re replying to got a short ban, or at least got their comments removed. Every thread to every post this user makes just gets swamped by people complaining about them without discussing the substance of the articles they’re posting.
