What the poster said was that voters will be either for the Democratic nominee or for Trump. That is an absolutely true statement. So far, Bernie Sanders is still a candidate for the nomination, so posts about him are perfectly fine. Both posts favoring his candidacy or not favoring it are fair game for this forum.
Once there is a nominee or only one candidate left, then the reason for the forum changes into a forum promoting our nominee for elections. At that time, there will be no reason to write about Bernie Sanders, and we'll all be focused on encouraging everyone to vote for Joe Biden.
Until then, posts that offer reasons to vote for or not to vote for one of the candidates are perfectly relevant. Post not encouraging a vote for a candidate are not "bashing." They are simply posts about negative factors about that candidate. Where there is a campaign, people make choices. Once there is only one candidate, we support that candidate here.
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
