No problem.

Meh. I can be a jerk at times... but slap me silly often enough and I can usually reverse the process.

Excellent article, in my estimation. I hope we can actually discuss the points contained within.

Some of these are stupid, and some of these are insane. For example:

1. You cannot support, advocate for, or participate in war
2. You cannot support the death penalty
3. You cannot support unrestricted gun rights
​

You can believe in killing the guilty without supporting killing the innocent.

and this:

5. You cannot oppose healthcare for all
6. You cannot hold anti-immigrant sentiments or support oppressive immigration policies
7. You cannot oppose gender equality
8. You cannot advocate, support, or passively tolerate economic policies which oppress the poor, minorities, or any other marginalized group.
9. You cannot oppose a livable, minimum wage.
​

makes literally no sense whatsoever. One can believe in not killing ones' fellow human beings without cause and still (for example) support a minimum wage, which harms the poor.
