• This is a political forum that is non-biased/non-partisan and treats every person's position on topics equally. This debate forum is not aligned to any political party. In today's politics, many ideas are split between and even within all the political parties. Often we find ourselves agreeing on one platform but some topics break our mold.

This place could use a new rule about blatant trolling regarding mental health

Just like the family thing is shunned here at DP, mental health slurs should be, too. It's not unlike people posting racist slurs and such- it's jerky behavior that shouldn't be allowed nor encouraged.

How would we then accurately describe our Politicians?

Are we to keep our mouths shut when it comes to President Biden's "senior moments"?

Surely, we should have the right to address the topic in a civil manner, of course.

Cognitive problems are no joke, as anyone knows who has dealt with a loved one who developed any kind of dementia.

It's already against the rules to insult a poster upstairs.

In Biden's case though, it is a lie to state as you are.........................lies should be banned
