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!

No, we haven't hit 10,000,000 yet. About 12,000,000 is the magic number to reach 3.5% and possibly reach a Tipping Point that becomes a national trend.
I submit that we are already there. No Kings is a literal DEMONSTRATION of our numbers, but it doesn't tell the whole story. There are MILLIONS of people at home, who are just as committed, but will not participate in a protest for many reasons. That does not mean they are less committed, just that the physical act of protesting isn't possible for some reason.
And No Kings is too infrequent. If that's all we had, we'd be screwed. Even more important are people talking to their families, friends, neighbors, co-workers, encouraging their resistance, and spreading the word person by person, as well as online. That keeps the resistance growing between Demonstrations, so each No Kings protest grows, and freaks out MAGA each time.
We've already blown past that 3.5%, and we're heading for Midterms.
I agree entirely 🫡
I was just misremembering the number from last time, then. Carry on, good people
Happy to clarify, Good Citizen.
