A commitment to each other? - Now’s the time to remember.... (1 Viewer)

As the next few days play out it’s bound to be contentious, no matter the result or possible lack there of.  With that said can we create a social contract with each other here in this thread?  An agreement ahead of time that you will not “dunk” on the other side, gloat, play I told ya so games, etc etc.  In other word be the type of “winner” or “loser” you’d teach your kid to be.   Please “sign” here if you agree to abide by this social contract over the coming days ahead and be a part of the solution as we move forward and not a part of the problem.  Please and thank you.

[KiddLattimer]

I'm in

 

[Kal El]

Absolutely in. I was taught early on to be gracious in either victory or defeat, because it won't last long with that attitude, or, in the case of the latter, nobody will want to play anymore.

 

[Gr00vus]

I'm on board. 

 

[Thunderlips]

Nope. 

 

[Thunderlips]

Just kidding.  

 

[Murph]

Nope. If "none of the above" wins I'm totally taking a victory lap.

Prayers answered. Let's make this happen. 

 

[The Commish]

Beat me to it @dkp993

In  

 

[sho nuff]

Sure...no gloating or dunking should happen.  Hoping we can all be more civil than we have been and our country has been.

 

[MTskibum]

What if I promise to troll regardless of who wins. Does that also have the spirit of the thread?

:Edit: I am trying to be funny is all. I am not actually a troll.

 

[Sideshow Bob]

I, for one, welcome our (new/old) ___________ overlord and his awful  ____________ political leanings.

 

[Godsbrother]

I will be nice to the Trump supporters and Biden supporters but I won't be nice to the Irish...   Oh hell the Irish too!

 

[CentralPA]

I will call no one clowns or ninnies for the next 7 days.

 

[Zow]

I'd settle for this time around people squaring up their bets.

 

[glock]

 

[dkp993]

12 of us in.  Come ya’ll we can do better then that.  Can we get to 30 before the election coverage gets hot and heavy?

 

[Morton Muffley]

Count me in

 

[Ruffrodys05]

Sure

 

[bagger]

This is the way.

 

[TheMagus]

Signed.

Werd. 

 

[E Street Brat]

Whoever wins will be "My President"

Don't get me started on this...  

 

[KarmaPolice]

I'm in.  

Now can we do one of these where we say  "I promise not to use ____,  __________, or ________ for info anymore" so we can have more rational discourse?   

 

[Joe Bryant]

 

[Rich Conway]

In on no gloating.

Wellll......I"m going to need some beer..... 

 

[dkp993]

Friendly reminder that now’s the time to be the example we want to set.  We get to choose.  

 

[Gr00vus]

Apparently @2Squirrels1Nut is choosing beer. Is that ok?

 

[The Commish]

Are any trump supporters even around anymore?  Haven't seen any significant posts this week.

This place (for the most part) is usually pretty decent.  

Twitter and Facebook typically show the extremes people think.  I've seen a lot of "If you voted for Trump, you're evil and I hope you're depressed and miserable right now."

People don't stop and ask themselves "Do I want good or evil?" There are any number of reasons people voted for Trump in 2016 and 2020.  And I think in some settings, the narrative has become if you vote the wrong way--you're evil.  

Most of the people here don't pull that.  And I appreciate it.  We disagree on how to interpret the facts and sometimes even what is and isn't fact.  But you guys from all sides are decent peeps.

Has anyone seen @The General ?  Haven't seen his posts in a minute.

Agree with this whole post.  

As contentious as it can get around here sometimes I truly believe this is the best place I’ve ever found to talk politics. It’s an insanely passionate topic and when you add in the anonymity of a forum it’s a toxic mixture. But Joe and the team have done a great job in my opinion managing a difficult situation.  

I truly enjoyed this group of people and I’m glad the last few days hasn’t gone badly here as it could have. The overwhelming majority of people have been cool and that’s been awesome to witness.
