you violate DU rules. Keep it 'generic' as advice and guidance you will gain allies.

although I realize that these things can be subjective to a certain extent. At least I always try to be constructive and stay away from name calling, which is just stupid and trumpesque.

That's the gray area.

But there are ways of expressing yourself forcefully that do not involve ridicule, name calling, or other childish tactics that aren't effective anyway. Personally, I'm not a fan of making fun of Dem leadership and calling them weak, for example. I think that just feeds in the RW narrative.

don't bring knives to a gunfight and forget "going high."

I've been saying/writing that for over a decade now.
