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!

I do need capital. And votes. Wanna know why? "I have a dream." That one day, NO person in this nation will control their OWN destiny. A land of the TRULY controlled, dammit. A nation of FORCE, not words. Ruled by STRENGTH, not committee. Where the law changes to suit the PAC, not the citizen. Where power and justice are still where they belong: in the hands of the billionaires!
Where no man is free to think -- to act -- for himself! Praise all these limp-dick lawyers and chicken-shit bureaucrats. Praise this 24/7 Internet spew of trivia and celebrity bullshit. Praise "American pride". Praise the media! Praise all of it! America is diseased. Rotten to the core. There's no saving it -- we need to preserve it as it is.
Keep the slate as it. PRESERVE IT! And with the rot, old America will stay. Unevolved, and tamed! The weak will be purged, and the richest will thrive -- free to live as they see fit, they will make America GREAT AGAIN!
What the hell are you talking about?
You still don't get it. I'm using war as a business to get elected... so I can do war as a business! In my old America, people will die and kill for what PACs BELIEVE! For money, for oil! For what they're told is right. Every man will be forced to fight PAC wars!
Unironically, Senator Armstrong would have been far better than anything we've been stuck with in the past 30 years. Starting forever wars, war crimes, shady MIC dealings, and trafficking minors is just par for the presidenct at this point, and he at least holds to his principles. Really, he could easily run as a centrist Dem since he wasn't raping the kids and just making child soldiers from them.
