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!

You say that as if it would matter to me. Unlike you, I don't care about upvotes or downotes very much. I think it's hilarious that people are so quick to downvote, but I don't really care that much.
And who cares how deep a comment is? If I am reading the comments and find one that I want to respond to, I respond.
I don't look, nor do i care, where it is in the thread or how many threads deep it is. I find it funny that It's so important to you though! lol
What "takers" are you referring to? I post articles I find interesting. If they find an audience, cool. If they don't find an audience, cool. I don't write them, I just post them, friend. :)
Well, to be fair you did manage to get twelve whole subscribers, so that’s probably already exceeding what SWP will receive in votes in your state. Who knows, with their one whole candidate event next month, you may actually be their most effective outreach. Proud of you bud!
Oops! I made the mistake of reading more again and just realized how …sparse mention of Fruit is there. You actually seem to be a much more effective outreach for “vague socialism vibes”. The important thing is that you’re doing the best that you can, friend!
Well then you shouldn't have a problem with me posting then, right? I mean, since our numbers are so low and meaningless, you have nothing to worry about! Right?
I've mentioned her plenty and I support the party and socialism. Do I have to have her name in every single post I make about socialism?
Since according to you, I post so little about her, then you have nothing to worry about when I post. Right?! I mean she is mentioned so little, and our numbers are so small, shouldn't have any affect on anything. Right?! :)
You seem to think that mocking me about how small SWP part is that I will somehow be offended. You don't think I know what our numbers are?! lol As I have said multiple times, I am voting for who most closely aligns with my values. I don't look at numbers or popularity.
Never have. Never will, friend. :)
Sure, add those to the list of things you don’t look at. That list is getting pretty long though, isn’t? Does someone need to send you some more paper?
Fingers crossed you don’t get hand cramps friend!
What?! I don't keep a list about things like that. Why would I?!
It's kinda weird that you seem to think that people do. lol
Uh huh. So we’re now going for “pretend to be confused by common American idioms and turns of phrase”? You are being so versatile today! Really proud of you bud!
I have no idea where you are going with this or what you are trying to say though.
