FAC, its members, and the registered citizen community are best served by complete solidarity. We do each other a disservice when we engage in partisan preaching. There are enough sources out there for divisive views, we need not introduce them here. We have limited resources and a very clear mission. Let’s stick to that.

If an open and fact-based debate about partisan views is of particular relevance to us, such as which candidate or party has a better track records of criminal justice reform, and so on, then it is legitimate. Anything else only serves to divide us.

Although I completely respect, have admiration for, and sympathize with the author of the submission just submitted earlier today (Oct 14, 2018), the introduction does the rest of what otherwise was a remarkable post a great disservice. It immediately dives into trendy fake-news [REDACTED] rhetoric. This sort of discourse is immediately divisive and without any good reason. It does not advance our community or the FAC mission.

So please, when you’re in the company of your FAC community, remember that we come from very diverse backgrounds with very diverse opinions, politics included. If saying something good or bad, or pushing or opposing a political party, idea, or anything, does not serve the common goals we have, whether or not to even say it should be considered carefully. Additionally, if FAC is to continue to post member-submissions, divisive language can and arguably should be censored in favor of a succinct story that advances our ideals.
