I've really appreciated this thread over the past months as a place to see insight into other people's lives, as we all exist in our little isolated bubbles.
You guys have given me interesting perspectives and helped me understand the stats and whole country picture and it's cheered me up getting bits of good news on vaccinations and the daily updates.
I thought it was a place away from the god-awful name calling, the horrendous puns on names (which I hate, and has already been said, make the writer look stupid instead of demeaning their intended victim), and the extreme partisan politics.
I'd love it if it remained a safe space for insights into people's lives and opinions as we move forward with,hopefully, a future beyond covid, and another election.
I think anyone is far more likely to make a convincing argument if it's based on evidence or specific experience that brings a different viewpoint more than name calling any day.
