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!

What?
We've been here before, haven't we?
I think you need to be born yet again - your pod obviously was defective.
My mothers womb was infested with HIV, yes
Please take your meds, I mean this seriously
I am and are and do and I be fine, you're just prejudiced.
I work with the developmentally disabled and have worked with some schizophrenics. Trust me I'm not trying to say anything bad about you. More like I recognize these patterns and want to encourage you to check in with somebody you trust.
Edit: Just to be clear not trying to label you, I just wanted to communicate that I'm honestly trying to help.
I am schizoaffective and autistic/ADHD with PTSD. I know I'm neurodivergent. Thank you, ninetieth billionth person to tell me I am a displeasure to be around by my innate nature. Thank you for reminding me that I'm retarded. That sure helps. No. Like, I appreciate you. I have to portray this autobiographical character as performance art to help vocalize the sociological effect people like you have on the wounded masses. People get fucked up in life. Shit happens. People fall off the wagon and become unlike yous. All of yous. And it's cool you're normal, but it's cool to be different, too. You may be well intentioned, but the approach you take can still trigger some people on the fringe. This is why I do my art this way so I can say these things. Thank you for caring, but this genuinely isn't caring. It's putting sociological pressure on people, because there's lurkers who will see these broadcasts we're making cough and this is my God-given n state-sponsored mission, k?
Not to presume, but you seem capable of self reflection and understanding how others may perceive your interactions. Neurodivergent or not, at that point, it's a choice to interact with others in a manner that leaves all parties more displeased than when they started.
I choose to be me despite how much you despise me, child. I love you, why tf don't you love me? You can say anything that is purely you. I have to hide myself so you don't crackiliate yourself into dorbish purteprid. I love you. Why does my natural existence cause you to treat me this way? Cuz I would never do what you do to me. I just speak boogie boogie boo, and that's enough to offend you. Please be better, for all our sakes. Thank you.
Maybe try leading by example?
I am!
The audacity!
I am the son of God!
I am! I am! I am!
My philosophy is as Christ's and Joseph Smith's was
I don't give a damn what you think of me!
I'm gunna be me and love you in the process!
Hallelujah!
Do you need genital stimulation?
I offer this on behalf of all Mormons everywhere!
Hail Mary! AND Satan!
You cannot perceive me for you see through the lens of the self.
I ain't like you, but I like you, so you get to be.
So be.
Why is you being calling me a bitch.
I'll call you a child then say something inappropriate and win WWIII in the process.
This is just what we do in the F-I mean, the CIA

Sorry, that was a typo.
K?
Point of order: I said ‘little shit’, not ‘bitch’
