In reply to the discussion: Should we add a Dem-bashing clarification to the GD SoP? [View all]defacto7
(13,485 posts)what I don't understand is the wording that would easily determine who fits into which category in a way that a rule can be followed that is consistent to everyone who reads the SOP. The wording used in the poll question is not any better at determining what the change would accomplish.
"No FOX-style Dem bashing" What is that? I don't watch Fox anything.
Then the explanation, "gratuitous, insulting, over-the-top" That's already implied or written into the TOS..
"topically irrelevant dog-whistling of the type seen on FOX News and other RW outlets" I have no idea what that is and everyone who is familiar with those terms would give a different degree of value to those terms.
What I am saying is that the wording would need to be comprehended with little ambiguity. In the end, it would come down to a judgment that is already made by the jury.
Honestly, I don't know what wording would accomplish the goal determining who is one or the other emphatically. Then there's the issue of reality among humans..... not a good idea.
Maybe I'm taking this too seriously...
