I asked him that very question....a couple times. On the last one, his answer was something like “non of your F#%KING business”. That’s the time that I took full advantage of the “Ignore” button. Still don’t know why he hasn’t gotten a lifetime ban. Don’t really care anymore. I never even talked about Republicans or Democratic.
Lifetime ban for what?
Being a Biden supporter?
Criticizing Trump?
Countering the "Covid is a hoax" delusion?
Posting animal pics?
Being a Pats fan?
Ball-busting Steeler fans?
I find the nonsense that cluelessreserve regularly posts offensive, so I'll act like a baby and demand that he be banned.
Too many here acting like the sore loser leaving the White House.

Serious question, if the Democratic Party was declared a religious organization, because that's clearly what they have become - would they be barred from running candidates and campaigning? I think I remember there is such a ban, which is why the Catholic church can't nominate its own candidates, for example, and is extremely limited in what kind of political activity it can engage in. That really ought to be looked into, it would solve a ton of problems.

Here is what I found...
According IRS regulations, there are only two things that pastors and churches, when classified as a 501(c)(3) organization, cannot do:
- A Church Entity May Not Endorse One Candidate Over Another
This does not mean that a pastor—in his individual capacity as an American citizen—may not endorse one candidate over another. A 501(c)(3) church or organization may not, however, endorse one candidate over another or be publicly against one candidate over the other.
- A Church May Not Give its Money to One Candidate Over Another
This doesn’t mean that pastors or church members, in their individual capacities as American citizens, cannot donate to the political campaign of their choice. They can even be the Campaign Chair for a candidate if they want. But an official 501(c)(3) organization may not donate church funds or resources to one political candidate over another. Of course, this is not something we have ever seen churches desiring to do.
I also came across this...
The Johnson Amendment, passed in 1954 (named after then-Senator Lyndon B. Johnson), says that churches and other organizations that are free from government taxation (commonly called 501(c)(3) organizations) “are absolutely prohibited from directly or indirectly participating in, or intervening in, any political campaign on behalf of (or in opposition to) any candidate for elective public office.” Mr. Trump promised to “get rid of and totally destroy” the Johnson Amendment in February 2017, and in May 2017 signed an executive order, the Presidential Executive Order Promoting Free Speech and Religious Liberty, limiting the way the amendment was enforced. In December 2017, the Republican effort to repeal the Johnson Amendment was quietly dropped from that year’s tax reform bill. It was something of a moot point, because the Johnson Amendment had almost never been enforced.
