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!

You make the mistake of thinking all of this is happening against the Americans' will.
The magats like this when it happens to others. Until the fascists come for them that is, and then they'll bitch and moan that it isn't what they voted for. But it'll be too late at that point.
Just like the Germans 90 years ago.
Oh... I was waiting for you to go first.
None of these guys promoting violence in America are Americans.
While you're waiting, innocent people are going to die. Your inaction is actively aiding the fascists.
👆 This.
"Oh you're inciting violence."
Yes I am. Because MAGAts are already shooting up gay bars and clubs, assaulting and killing elected democrat politicians and holding fucking neo-Nazi marches against the LGBT. The Trump administration is already using violence. They're sending ICE to kidnap both legal and illegal immigrants that have constitutional rights and sending them to prisons in foreign countries without a warrant or even a trial. They're sending the fucking national guard and the matines against your asses and building alligator Alcatraz to hold you there. And Trump and his goons are saying the Supreme Court judges can't stop him if he does anything illegal or unconstitutional. He's gone full dictator.
If that's not reason enough for people to start bearing arms, then I don't know what does and you guys and everybody else in the world are fucked.
If YOU don't bear arms, soon I'll have to, in order to kill your asses when you start invading Canada. And I swear to you that I won't hesitate to pull that trigger.
