Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- 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:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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!

I'm sorry political change feels slow to the tiktok generation, but at least you seem to understand now.
We can worry about spelling later.
Going by your username I'm older than you, also I've never had a tiktok account.
But yes, I do speak somewhat fluently a foreign languadge, thank you for noticing!
Hard not to notice
I hope you realize you are furthering the impression of not being a particoularly intelligent person.
Have a nice day nevertheless.
There's this weird phenomenon where if an IQ difference is larger than 30 points, the person on the lower side becomes confused and belligerent, believing the other person is the problem because they keep pointing out flaws in what they're saying.
It's why the line for intellectual impairments is an IQ of 70. At 30 points difference communication is hindered.
Unfortunately I've taken an actual proctored Wechsler exam... This might feel new to you, especially if you're a full standard deviation above 100.
Statistically speaking, there's just not many times you'd run into someone more than 3 standard deviations above average. Like, lemmy world is the biggest instance, assuming an equal distribution the amount of people over 145 is single digits. You very well might never interact with someone two standard deviations above you again.
So don't feel bad, I get this a lot.
This is the first time I've been accused of having a low IQ for pointing out spelling errors tho, usually it's taking steps of logic for granted and the other person can't fill in the gaps on their own.
That was very insighful, thanks!
