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!

It's not sarcasm. I have no reason to dislike you.
I'm appreciative of your passion about political news, even though your opinions are different than mine.
I totally respect your right to have your opinions. Thank you! :)
Ah, yep, there's more of that classic surface-level niceness that I remember from the other conservative Mormons while growing up in Utah. Too bad that you're bad at it.
I do not have a passion for political news, but I do have a passion for calling out bullshit. Does that still count?
Friend, as long as you are passionate about something, then I'm glad you're doing what makes you happy. That's a great thing. Thank you! :)
Yep, it sure makes me happy when I see you following your script because it's so transparent, I genuinely hope you keep it up because of that. If you were only just slightly better at what you do, you'd probably find some success. But since you refuse to even change your go-to excuses for posting propaganda, it's fairly easy to see right through you.
I just post news articles written by news orgs. Thank you! :)
Yep, that's the #1 thing you like to say to excuse your bad behavior (it's literally number one on my list)!
Propagandists love to pass their distasteful behavior on to someone else and vice versa, that's why posting propaganda is the same thing as writing it.
