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!

As much as I’m tempted, I’m not interested in getting to a debate with you about this. For someone mad about me ‘jumping to conclusions’ you sure made a whole lot of assumptions about me that aren’t really true.
Whether my rant was directed at you, or one of the handful of other Jill Stein nutjobs on here doesn’t really matter, I’ve said my piece.
Have a great day.
They’re not even American, yet telling us how we should vote. That’s about as bad faith as it gets.
Which ones specifically? I did you the courtesy of being specific about how and where you were wrong about me. If you're gonna go "no you!", it would behoove you to do the same rather than being as vague as a teenager posting on Facebook on a bad day.
I specifically informed you that I don't consider any of the third party candidates viable and have not said anything to the contrary to indicate that I support Stein in any way. I don't, for the record.
Because you don't have any counterarguments. You just lie, misrepresent, and demand that everyone believes you. Which seems to be working in this case since it's taking place in a pro-DNC echo chamber almost half as tribalist as the fascist ones.
Now I have too. Have the day you deserve.
This has to be some kind of chatgpt essay blend. How are you able to write so much based on so little? All your comments are like walls of text responses to like one liners. I just don't get it. How? How do y'all have so much time on your hands???
I like to be thorough and exact when refuting misinformation. The point by point format helps me organize my thoughts better and also makes it more clear to the reader what exactly I'm talking about.
That you see this and think LLM says more about your own sloppiness than it does about my format choices and tendency towards verbosity.
When I have something important to say, I choose my words and format differently than for jokes or casual conversation.
If I don't, I end up having to take much LONGER over several comments to clarify when someone inevitably misunderstands due to my being too vague.
I remember a convo we had a while back. I don't mean to psychoanalyze but I recall all your responses being filled with very loaded language kinda how you're doing here.
It's obvious the person you are responding to in this thread is not particularly keen on the convo but you come at them very charged. I don't know, maybe don't take it so personal. I get that they lumped you in with a group you probably don't identify with but it's not worth the battle. Just my 2 € thoughts. All this online debate only leads to misery.
Yeah, you're probably right about that. Getting personally offended and worked up by whatever imprecise to false statements I read, including ones with no malice intended, IS a thing I'm trying to do less.
I grew up with undiagnosed ADHD, so not being understood or people not making an effort to understand and make themselves understood is a major trigger for me because it used to happen so much to me and I've had to work so hard to get better at it.
That's mostly a ME issue that I need to be better at taking down several notches, though. Thanks for pointing it out in a good way rather than wielding it like a cudgel that I would then overreact to as well 😄❤️
Hey. Interesting. Did you ever do an evaluation for ADHD? I'm 38 and I started the process last week. I'm still waiting for the final interview. I don't know what will come of in but it will be nice to have some clarity.
Yeah, got the diagnosis at age 20. It was a huge relief and help to be able to better understand myself, and better explain to others why some things are more difficult to me than most people for no obvious reason 🙂
My best friend got the diagnosis at your age 3 years ago and it's helped him a lot too! I hope it will for you as well, whether yours turns out tp be ADHD too or something else 🙂
Thanks man. I appreciate it!🙂
I'm not and would thank you to not employ offensive ableist stereotypes.
Rude.
If you know you know
Just because someone replies with something you don’t like or agree with doesn’t mean they’re chatgpt, friend. Some of us are just educated, can read and write well, and have our own thoughts to share. 🙂
Hooooo boiiiiiii
ok?
Nop nop nop. Not doing it. Not taking the bait. Nooooopppeeee. Byeeeeeeeee
Not sure what that means, but ok. Take care!
