This thread is not about any candidate. It is about supporting the forum that you use. If you do not wish to donate, or cannot, that is fine. Why stir the pot? Are you obliquely trying to discourage others from donating?
I think that is the point. The thread is about fundraising, which is down. And this thread is a good example of why. Its a healthy debate that you seem to be afraid of.
I’m not sure people are trying to discourage donations—I think they are (rightly) pointing out that if the atmosphere here would clear significantly, the donations would go up. The zot-fests are not good fund raisers.
