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

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!

Whataboutism....
edit: seen as aggresive, made more passive
Pointing out the hypocrisy on both US and Russia, okay...
Learning only one view will not help our country improve, it is best to learn opposing views as well.
Russia is a dictatorship. How long have you been a US citizen?
I would say both countries are run by the wealthy oligarchy.
Russia has Vlad and his henchmen vs. in the US we have our billionaires influencing all of our laws, with lobbyists (legal corruption).
But we have elections, whereas putin has theater. Again, how long have you been a US citizen?
Well, I am going to disagree in that.
We have a duopoly that is run by the wealthy class (oligarchy).
Disagree with what exactly?
Russia also has "elections", don't they...
russian elections to not meet the standard of free and fair elections… thus, russia has theatre
I think it is just me, trying to equate the similarities in governments, but you are right they are at different levels of corruption.
Russia is far more noticeable, in the legal sense, whereas in the US it is legal (lobbying).
It is a big difference, thank you for that.
Bruv, you’re fucked in the head if you see the two countries as equivalent with regard to rulership. You could stand outside the White House with a big sign that says “Fuck Biden” and no one would give a flying shit. Try the equivalent in Russia.
They didn't deny it and you are being needlessly aggressive.
Aggressive, how am I. Can you tell over the internet? Am I typing aggressively?
I am sorry if it seems that way.
Internet talks are hard to see, if one is being aggressive or just having fun openly disagreeing with people.
I tend to give the benefit of the doubt, when talking on the internet, until proven hostile by other party.
Telling someone that they are lying to themselves is definitely aggressive.
Ah, I shall edit my comment, thank you!
