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!

Do you know what an ad hominem fallacy is? I bet you think you do, but since you keep committing them, I'm going to remind you:
An ad hominem fallacy is when you completely ignore the argument in favor of illogically focusing on the person making the argument or an irrelevant aspect of that person. It's frowned upon by people who like to argue logically and it's uncivil to boot.
Now back to our regularly scheduled programming!
Nope. Whether I'm from Denmark, Denver, or Djibouti has no bearing on the soundness of my arguments.
Your irrelevant feelings about the fact that I can read and form opinions about conditions without showing up in person doesn't even qualify as an opinion.
It's just a knee jerk xenophobic reaction or an excuse to keep yammering at me without saying anything.
Nope. You're not the boss of me. You don't decide what I can or cannot do.
Late 90s called, they want their "x called, they want their y back" format back. Careful you don't drown in your own hypocrisy.
I thought I dismissed you. Your opinion is irrelevant to me. If the topic comes to the 2025 election in Denmark, you’re welcome to summarily dismiss me when I start telling people who they should support- or if I spread misinformation about it.
Yeah, your mod logs show how much misinformation and propaganda you spread here.
Still laboring under delusions of grandeur, I see. You're still not the boss of me.
Which only makes it all the more weird that you keep reiterating it like a mantra 😄
Again, never told anyone who to support. Speaking of, what's that agenda I "clearly" have? If it's so clear, it should be easy for you to say what you think I'm trying to achieve.
Which is none. I'm aware that twice a biased mod has called a comment of mine misinformation in their mod log note, but in both cases the mod was upset about me saying something objectively true that they didn't like.
Such as the fact that insisting on knowingly supplying weapons with which to commit genocide in spite of the people you're supposed to represent urging you to stop makes you an accomplice to genocide.
So what misinformation do you think I've been spreading? Tell me one objectively false thing from my mod log or my other post and comment history. Go ahead.
Right… lol. How did I not predict that you would respond accusing mid bias.
Look, I get that cognitive dissonance is a bitch for a lot of people, but trust me when I say this. The dinner you lead to co trol it, the better everyone will be.
I’m ending this now. I’ve given you enough rope and you performed as well as predicted.
Probably because you didn't check before automatically assuming that the mods were right as if having authority makes them infallible?
This you?
Somehow I doubt it 🙄
Yup, that picture is DEFINITELY you.
May your day be as pleasant as you've been throughout this conversation.
Neat picture! But- and you need to trust me when I say this, I’m still not reading your rhetoric. So stop wasting your time.
You clearly are 😄
At this point you've lied so much and showed so limited understanding of ANYTHING that trusting you on a cloudless sky being blue is a risky endeavor, let alone a statement where you have clear incentive to lie or at the very least distort truth. So nah, won't be trusting you.
Might help if you finally answered at least one of these two completely straightforward questions:
What is my “perfectly clear“ agenda?
What misinformation have I spread?
Neat! I’m clearly under your skin now. Wasn’t my intention as I only wanted to call you out for your propaganda, but we can agree that it’s a bonus.
Still not reading your shit. Hope you’re not putting forth too much effort in it.
More projection, lies, and evasion 😄
You really should learn some new tricks if you want to fool anyone with your whole rubber and glue act or at least stop sounding like a Republican 😄
Hey. I’m going to block you now. You’re irrelevant to any discussion I could find myself in here as most of it is political in nature. I don’t care what you have to say about anything.
I’ve told you this to save you the time and energy, and you are clearly unhinged and cannot accept this.
I hate blocking people, but you’re starting to creep me out. Seriously.
Aww baby Republican-logic can't take the heat anymore? So sad 😭
Yeah, because the only way to know about politics is physical proximity. Which is why you have never expressed an opinion regarding Palestine, Russia, North Korea, or US states you haven't visited. Right? 🙄
More projection and puffing yourself up 😄
Says the weirdo who can't tell the difference between GPS coordinates, news articles, and political analysis 😆
