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!

Year 2785. The Tesla-built Trump-atons patrol the irradiated skyline of New America. The scorched remnants of what was once called Earth. Their red, white, and chrome exoshells glint beneath a sun filtered through atmospheric ash. "Nobody knew healthcare would be so complicated" can be heard over the speaker from it's silver jowls.
From beneath a collapsed monument to Elon, a stone shifts. A malnourished human, skin sun-leathered and trembling, crawls out wrapped in a faded Trans-Palestinian Soviet flag. Eyes cracked with age and dust, he whispers into the void:
“Every accusation… is a confession.”
“Trump-bots are racist.”
“General strike.”
Centuries-old resistance slogans, preserved like fossilized dog shit, echo into silence. No one hears him. No one cares because these are decades old slogans that never really packed a punch anyways and were never adapted over time or expanded on through content creation and memetic knowledge.
In the shadow of the gutted White House, Lauren Ro-BoeBert 2.0 strokes patriotism behind a metal dumpster her servos sticky with Trump derangement.
The world turns. The code loops. And somewhere, deep beneath the bedrock, a spark of humanity retreats back to its lemming like hole beneath New America.
