Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

Fuck you liberal trash.

Such nice civil discourse from you. Perhaps you should step away from the computer and calm down.

We have trump thanks to YOU

No YOUUUUU. The blame game is pointless here. It's really, when it comes down to it, exactly why Republicans win elections. Good job!

Just keep asking questions sea lion.

Keep losing elections because you’re too busy chasing the mythical centrist unicorn who won’t vote for you anyway in a general. Keep losing, loser.

The world has spoken. Neoliberalism is over! country after country has thrown the neoliberals out of office after they’ve decimated the working class and turned most of us into debt slaves.

Go back to brunch liberal. Don’t you have some ‘work’ to do poolside? Liberals are completely and utterly out of touch and fucking delusional.

Meanwhile queers like myself are in the fucking crosshairs while liberals time and time again ratfuck elections to protect their class while lying about sAvInG dEmOcRaCy. Where’s your January 6? You’re just gonna roll over and hand over power to tHe NeXt HiTlEr? I expect nothing more than some ineffectual marching in circles with signs while crying. That will show the fascists!

You are so wound up in your anger you can't even have a reasonable dialogue. You don't even realize that shouting angrily at people just makes you look like a fool.

I don't want centrist anything, I want socialism. Calling me a liberal is about the funniest thing I've heard all week.

But you are so angry you can't even read the words. You assume I'm things I'm not. LOLLOLOL.

The central difference between us is that instead of angrily shaking my fist and shouting at people so much I can't hear a damned thing they say - I acknowledge I'm not the main character and that listening can accomplish far more than yelling in a blind range.

I hope you live a better life and recover from your anger. I highly recommend long hikes, good food, good friends and practicing gratitude.
