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!

Sadly, the USA lost its former glory. Slowly it's marching towards to the inevitable end.
Its glory was always manufactured. There was never a shining city on a hill because it started with slavery, it still has it for prisoners, and there's still a lack of parity between white and non-white people. And then there's all the people America has killed in all of its pointless wars. Maybe you could make a piss-poor argument that Americans could be proud of the Constitution as a revolutionary founding document, but that's about it. Even there, black people are 3/5ths of a white person.
America has always been a sham.
EDIT: You people downvoting me know it too. You just won't admit it to yourselves. That's why you're downvoting and not giving any counter-arguments about America's greatness. Shameful.
Don’t forget the massive amount of genocide U.S.A. has committed. Both on our own soil, and while playing puppet master in other countries (for their natural resources, or to instill govt US can control).
I’m sorry. USA has never been great. Maybe if you’re white and rich it is, but at what cost.
I’m American and this is crazy true. A lot of America is just propped up scams to make it look like they contributed a lot themselves, but there’s always a different story behind it.
Lol! Inevitable end. You make it sound like that’s uncommon. Every country on earth is temporary. Humans are temporary. I am Ozymandias, king of kings.
I'm ready for our A.I. overlords to just take control at this point
