  > True civic engagement is inherently bipartisan or nonpartisan; Semi true. When both sides are engaging civically yes. If one side is acting partisanly or in bad faith, using demagoguery & deceit, civics is to call out the dis-ingenuousness & descent from reason. > it pursues moderation and consensus. Including moderation of bad actors & fanatics when necessary. > Taking a position for or against a candidate (as in, not just e.g. a few policy positions from any given campaign) is the very opposite of actual, genuine civic engagement. reply Obviously [insert explitives here]. Entirely bogus conclusion that in no way follows from some weak & very partial but slightly somewhat true origins.

    >When both sides are engaging civically yes. If one side is acting partisanly or in bad faith, using demagoguery & deceit, civics is to call out the dis-ingenuousness & descent from reason. One side is threatening violence in case Trump isn't voted out. I wouldn't call that "civically".
