I prefer change.

I respect that.

i'm trying to imagine what it looks like to practice "respectful discourse" and "civility" while also efficiently creating positive changes in 2020. do you have some examples you can point to?

For example, the way Biden got elected over Trump. Trump was/is a bully and Biden was a respectful person throughout the whole election. Not sure how much it will change, but I think it might get better if the president of the USA is not (no-so-crypto)-fascist, nepotist con-man.

Managed to avoid it in October. I watched 20 secs now and Biden called Trump liar and racist (and rightly so). Anima called Pedro racist, too (and more). I doubt he is a racist, but I don't even care. I didn't watch debate neither, neither will I cheer Anima publicly for that.

But you will publicly cheer Biden, and call him civil ok... #DoubleStandards

Because I have zero respect for Trump. And he is a blatant racist and has willfully mismanaged the pandemic causing 100s of K needless deaths. I have some respect for Pedro, maybe I am wrong about him, but have never seen evidence of him being racists, e.g.
