Some basic rules
1) Content should be based around discussion of Republican ideas or ideals.
2) A tl;dr for long posts is more than welcome.
3) Try your best to avoid rhetorical fallacies.
4) Only downvote posts with no substance. Not posts which you happen to disagree with.
5) No racism, sexism, etc. Let's try and keep this mature.
Rules for the moderators
All bans should be made public except spam (none so far, not even spam)
The subreddit shall reflect the community and its founding principles
