Firebrand Media LLC wants comments that advance the discussion, and we need your help to accomplish this mission. Debate and disagreement are welcomed on our platforms but do it with respect. We won't censor comments we disagree with. Viewpoints from across the political spectrum are welcome here. While everyone is entitled to their opinion, our community is not obliged to host all comments shared on its website or social media pages, including:

• Hate speech that is racist, sexist, homophobic, transphobic slurs, or calls for violence against a particular type of person.
• Obscenity and excessive cursing.
• Libelous language, whether or not the writer knows what they're saying is false.
