Seems to me that so long as it's free of personal attacks, they'd be making themselves suffer.
Are you saying you find satisfaction/joy/etc. in having whoever is least secure in their self/person/individuality definition you can imagine (because there's no knowing that until testing it) determining the extent of your expression?
I am not particularly against political discussion, I really wouldn't mind for good interesting discussion on that matter... but then again, how often does that get to happen?
Surely, the midnight pub will not reduce to 4chan-quality political discussion. That much is for sure.
But I really don't think that our fellow patros, who are flooded with Kamala Trump bullshit on every other site would welcome Kamala Trump bullshit in one of the nicer places of the internet.
On the other side, we can keep this contained in a single thread and keep ourselves from letting it spill to other tables.
I have wanted to make a post here, by the title "Is this what people want democracy for?". You can imagine the content of that thread. Of course, everybody is free to skip it. I just don't want to have the pub become, even for a couple days, into another 4chan/reddit.
I know it won't really steep to that level. But i am wary...
