@Joe_Manchin's comment on 'r/neoliberal announces it will permanently ban anyone who suggests the Democrats should focus more on economics and less on gender politics'

Rule Clarifications

Howdy all, given what we've been seeing in the mod queue and what you've certainly all been seeing out and about we wanted to be clear on our stance here.

r/neoliberal is a liberal sub, we support liberal values. These include but are not limited to supporting a person's right to live their lives free of discrimination or interference.

We've seen a large uptick in comments stating that democrats should abandon certain groups (specifically transgender people) in order to gain votes. Let's be clear, this is not our sub's position - we support trans rights, we support minority rights, we support freedoms of movement and expression.

Anyone making these comments will be permanently banned, we've had enough. Like Jesus fricking Christ, be better.

Example of what's okay to say: "I'm afraid democrats will abandon X group to earn votes"

Example of what's not okay to say: "democrats should abandon X group to earn votes"

This feels straightforward but apparently has to be said. Please use the report button to help us enforce this policy, as there are many comments we otherwise don't see (there are maybe a dozen of us active, and the sub has gotten tens of thousands of comments in the past 24 hours).

Just be kind. It's easy. God bless.

According to Wikipedia Neoliberalism is "both a political philosophy and a term used to signify the late-20th-century political reappearance of 19th-century ideas associated with free-market capitalism". Apparently caring about free markets more than legalizing over the counter puberty blockers is incompatible with neoliberalism, though. Incidentally, did anyone else really like Bernie's policies but not vote for him because he's a priviliged white man???? !neolibs
