    So quick thing. Our community has a rule of ‘No bigotry’. Honestly? I think that if you voted for Trump you basically violated that rule. So lemme be clear.

    If you voted for Trump, voted for Third Party, or didn’t vote at all and you say as much on this community, I will permanently ban you. Yes, I am including Third Party in that. Jill Stein is an open asset of the Russians. More over, a Third Party candidate was never going to win. Your position of a protest vote did nothing other than fuck over everyone else in the country. You are just as bad as the people who did not vote and worse than the people who voted for Trump. At least they were honest about what they were doing. You deluded yourself into believing that a completely different election was happening and actively enabled fascism.

    You do not get to call yourself a Star Trek fan when your actions have shown that you go against absolutely everything that it stands for and represents.

      I hope this is a joke…

      If not I think you need to step back and think about the implications of what you just wrote. You are straight up telling people who to vote for. That is not exactly democratic nor is it even in line with a lot of Star Trek. Also we are talking about a fictional series so you could basiclly claim anything is not in line with Star Trek.

      If this is something you are serious about I can not longer be a part of this community. I think there are a few much smaller communities that I might move to.

        I think you’re off the hook. For now. Depending on where you live, I’m sure you’ll get your chance to vote against fascists. Seems to be catching.

          Sure we will. It looks like that our government (Germany) is falling apart in these very minutes. So I guess we will get our chance to fuck things up very soon as well.

      This is the only thing that made me crack a smile today. It’s nice to know that some people still have brains.
