Do not submit low investment posts/comments.
Do these apply to the top comments in any topic on Sanders threads that are just making fun of Sanders supporters? They seem to be hiding and killing the actual discussion to be had.

Edit: upon review of the post in question, which occurred months ago, it was not as bad as I had built up in my mind. Apologies but this post has no way to back up its claim. That said I still think we have to find a difference between detract and just an unforeseen branch of the conversation.
Could we apply that in reverse as well to socialist supporters?
We need to make its actually distracting from the topic at hand.
You should see the stuff people posted when I've asked for alternatives to raising minimum wages that wasn't based on a socialist solution. Everyone was so made I didn't want their precious UBI that that's all the conversation was about.
Which completely defeated the whole point of the question/thought experiment.
Point is we have to be careful what we deem "making fun of and a distraction". And what we deem simply a unforeseen branch of the discussion.
