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!

Never forget that thousands and thousands of dipshits canvassed the Internet pretending to be leftists but taking actions which led to Donald Trump destroying America forever. Fuck every single one of those cunts.
Yeah why blame a handful of politicians for being genocidal, when you can blame thousands of voters for not voting for genocide? It just makes sense.
You voted strongly for genocide. Deny it all you want. You voted for harder genocide and you begged others to as well. History will never honor your fake moralizing.
I'm still not American, and you're still wrong. Voting for 99% Hitler is still an evil act, even in a two party system where the other candidate is 100% Hitler. At that point your only principled position is to take action outside of the two-party system, by voting third party - and/or, even better - beyond electoralism altogether.
We don't literally believe that Kamala Harris shares 99% of her policies with Hitler, that isn't the argument. You see, it's an analogy, to try and explain a complex idea in more of a readily understood way.
I did not vote for a genocide, and presumably, you did. If any of us did this, you bear much more weight than I do. You got at least some of what you voted for. I did not.
I have a genuine, good faith question for you - if the Democratic candidate ran on a platform of torturing and killing you, specifically TrickDacy, and the Republican candidate ran on a platform of torturing and killing you, and also burning more fossil fuels, would you still vote for the Democratic candidate on the basis of harm reduction?
That is the only thing that would get you to support a Democrat.
I don't want you to get killed or harmed in any way, we disagree on this issue but we have a lot more in common, I would gladly fight fascists side by side with you.
I'm genuinely interested in your perspective on my question
We get it, you perfectly fit the things I said. I think I tagged you a year ago as "fake leftist"
Yes, you're right. True leftists always support genocide.
You support genocide so yes, we know you believe this
I'm confused. I didn't vote for genocide, and you did, and to you, that means I support genocide? Does that mean you also support genocide?
