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!

"Keep a democracy" as if the illusion of choice has ever been anything more than an illusion 🤣
"Don't come crying to me" is some boomer shit, I swear to god.
If you're even a little itsy-bitsy-uncomfy reading this as a lib, you best buckle up.
Already with the tankie talking points? Figures you'd be the one to criticize, cry, blame everyone else, and dip.
As long as you can hand-waive away your own responsibility for the collapse, the libs will continue to throw around "tankie" instead of engaging in meaningful discussion.
If you're arguing in good faith, you must (at least at some point) understand that you're arguing against your best interests (which is exactly the same thing you accuse MAGA of)
Quite frankly, nobody needs you to defend the boots of the man stepping on Palestinian children.
But you will likely continue despite that..
Is that what you're doing by throwing around the word "lib" to see where it sticks and choosing to flee because things got too hard and you didn't get your precious, ideal way instead of playing the cards that we have now by dealing with the most imminent problem first?
I mean, are you?
So you'd rather do nothing, let this keep going, and make it worse by letting another man step on Mexican children next. Got it.
And you've chosen to do nothing but jump ship. It's arguably worse.
You missed the point entirely.
Such is to be expected out of the American education system I suppose.
Did I? Or did you fail to argue your point effectively and gave up? Because it sounds like you did.
Oh, you do not want to go there. Not only did I study in a multicultural and bilingual environment, I also had a fairly mixed education in both the arts and sciences and graduated top of my class between two countries. In short, you don't know me. lol
Stupid is a stupid says.
