politics
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!

Yay!! See there? Then no reason to worry about my posts. And no need to worry about the fact that I'll keep posting. Thank you!
Who said I was worried? You keep putting words into other people’s mouths. Or intentionally being obtuse. It’s almost like you’re repeatedly not engaging in good-faith and with respect.
Oh ok, so then you're fine with me posting what I want to, when I want to, and as many times as I want to. And you're fine with me voting for whoever I want to.
See? We are friends. Glad to hear it!
I never said I wasn’t fine with it. What I asked was about your motivation for doing so. You know, in the spirit of engaging in good faith, as the rules outline. Because you often receive feedback that your posting and commenting certainly don’t appear to be in good faith. It’s almost like anyone who sees your username more than a couple times immediately clocks that you are not acting in a genuine manner. A bit like the “uncanny valley”. A bit abnormal.
I’m not obligated to explain myself to you. If people don’t want to read my posts, they can simply ignore or block me. Thanks!
Or they can respond to you and tell you what they think! Why are you trying to quiet voices you don’t agree with?
Sure, and plenty of people respond and tell me what they think. And it's up to me if I want to reply or not. See how that works?
I've never said they couldn't. In fact, in my own community plenty of people hate me and call me names. And I leave their posts up. Feel free to take a look for yourself.
Doesn't really fit the narrative you are trying to create tho, huh?
And any time anyone says something you immediately cry and whine about how they’re trying to oppress you.
And yet you never honestly engage with anyone.
I have no narrative, just observations that anyone can make when viewing your strange and disingenuous behavior.
We're still friends though, right?
So needy, aren’t you? Or just completely disingenuous and looking to make others uncomfortable.
But no, as I’ve stated before, you don’t make me feel anything.
Well, I think we're friends. So yay!
I’d agree with you, but then we’d both be wrong
Close enough, friend! :)
