No Campainging For Any Candidate in Any Election Anywhere!!

Hippie3 · 12-10-07, 17:04

mycotopia isn't supporting any candidate or political party
and doesn't want to be used by activists on any side
to promote their candidates.

please do not post their
itineraries,
their position papers
and press releases, etc.

do not post to urge people to vote for any particular candidate
or party.
take your political fights
elsewhere.

this rule will be in effect until
after the next US Presidential Election in '08.

Thanks Hippie.

on last presidential elections here in Argentina there were people auctioning their vote on eBay (MercadoLibre) for $20 lol. Others for more.

Cristina Kirchner won, the wife of the current president Nestor Kirchner.

Sounds like a sensible policy. Hell, there aren't any candidates I feel strongly enough about to support anyway...

dizzydank · 12-11-07, 13:28

works for me. im not into politics what so ever.

bores me to death.

Hippie3 · 12-11-07, 14:48

my intention isn't to stifle legitimate political discussions between regular members here-
it's to stop the abuse of this site by those who's only interest here is political,
who just pop in to paste up some spam for their candidate.

So we can argue about the candidates & policies, just not post their propaganda, right?

TVCasualty · 12-16-07, 12:54

Yeah, politics in general is fine to discuss I'm sure...

Hippie3 · 12-16-07, 13:09

i know the difference between political spam and legit discussion

Hippie3 · 01-11-08, 09:26

speaking of which
i consider raising candidate issues from current contests like the primaries to be essentially the same sort of political spam.
i just don't care if the loser in some election has a complaint about fraud, as was recently posted.
mycotopia does not want to give any free publicity to his political cause and that would of course include his complaints
as well his talking points, etc.
it's just an indirect way,
with the exact same political purpose,
to give aid and support to his political cause.
that is unacceptable.
AFTER the election you can hash out the issues if you want.

no,
arguing about candidates and/or their policies
is exactly what i do not want.
why ?
because you won't be arguing for all equally,
you'll be arguing FOR your favorite candidate & his policies
which is in effect campaigning for him.
others will then argue FOR their candidate, trash yours
and we end up exactly where we do not want to go,
fighting over this election.
