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!

Racism is so fucking pathetic. No one chooses the colour or race they’re born into. It’s not a choice. Not being a complete bag of shit in your life is a choice however.
Fuck off racists. Dig a hole and die.
Racism is kind of ironic to me. You gotta be pretty basic in free thought to think a person's superiority is associated with race. So racism, or being a racist, is really letting other people know that your genetic contributions are undesirable compared to more superior examples of humans—such as ones that have progressed from Pleistocene era behavioural and mental traits.
It's straight up an indicator of significant genetic inferiority.
Racists are odd. Used to have to deal with nazi skinheads in the 80s. They all wore Levi Strauss jeans.
Imagine being a white racist. No foreign options available. Cant get any car other than Ford, dodge, Tesla?
No mexican, Japanese, Greek, etc food: just burgers and dogs I guess.
Sex. Yes but only with white racists women, have you seen MTG?
Being racist has to be a constant struggle. What if you need an Uber, do you call them and explain how you're racist and need a white man to drive you around....
I don't understand how or why they do it....
I think they're fine with that part, because you're in an inferior position to them. I think that's why they have so many issues with DEI, it lets the people they hate become their bosses and tell them what to do.
Conservatives need scapegoats because their bigotry is the only thing they've accomplished in life.
