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!

Beats staying in your basement and doing nothing.
Then I don't know...... Do something that actually has an effect?
Do you think the Democratic Party decided to block DHS funding yesterday because they suddenly awoke to justice? The Democratic Party only felt comfortable doing this because they have seen there is widespread disapproval for the actions of ICE. I don't think it's a stretch to claim these protests have resulted in political action by elected representatives.
Are you honestly saying they only did their job because people complained..... As a good thing?
It's shit that it's come to this, yet here we all are.
You complained that regular people aren't doing enough. I explained that regular people are doing stuff and now you are complaining about the way they are doing stuff. It sounds like you are the one ineffectually complaining.
How do you think people get involved and build networks that aren't currently activated?
..... Oh... Networking is the issue.... If only they're was some kind of global network, interconnected with others.... And there had been years to plan things....
Yes. Two things that are critical precursors to change include:
These two things can lead to change. Not doing them strongly lessens the chances for change.
Showing the FUCK UP is how you change shit.
Correct.... But not marching with meme banners every 2 months.
You seem to be bragging of your cluelessness of the current political awareness of the average American.
You need to be more specific.
No, I don't. Americans sitting there complaining on the internet on how bad things are, but do nothing about it. At this point you are all part of the problem.
Stop promoting terrorism. /S
Wtf are you smoking?
Uncut raw American pride. Str8 through the tooter. /S
