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!

This is a common circle for people like us to run around in.
Yes, there are many individuals who are doing a lot, punching far above their weight class.
My point is when I boycott American products, advocate for the US to be punished politically and economically, when I spread the message loud and clear where I am that "America is the enemy", that necessitates putting YOU in the crosshairs of my actions.
Do I love that? No, we're on the same team. Is that going to stop me? Absolutely not.
The best analogy I can think of is sports. I'm gonna hate your hockey team because they're our rival, they play dirty on the ice, etc. One of your players might feed the hungry and use their money to build orphanages, but that doesn't change the fact that I'll be cheering for your team to fail.
Maybe there's nothing else you can possibly do. Truly. Life's not fair. But you and I both know that the average American citizen is doing basically nothing. That's the "person" I'm talking to when I post things like this. I can't individually judge 350 million people, so I have to address your average. Your average sucks.
I am prepared to die in this country.
I do not deserve to die in this country, I don’t choose to live here.
But because I am transgender, my federal government explicitly wants me dead.
And the populations of other countries do not care for my survival, because I was born on an overseas American military base, and then brought here as a child, means I am a citizen of this evil empire.
And I understand that even though I myself am not evil, I am a member of an evil empire, and my government and large portions of the outside world want me injured or dead in some way.
But I am scrappy and I have a heart full of love and beauty.
And I outlived Charlie Kirk.
