Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. 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:

  1. Articles must be relevant to US politics and contain quality and original content. Social Media adjacent hosts like Substack are allowed, but ONLY if they tie back to a company/subsidiary. No personal or friend group blogs and no self-promotion. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and re-hosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. 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 other users of being bots or paid actors.
  3. No memes, trolling, misinformation, or low-effort posts/comments (including reposts). If you see posts like this that anger you, do not engage. Report, block, and live a happier life than they do. Any slap-fight is subject to comment removals. Fights full of rule violations will result in temporary bans to cool off.
  4. No manipulating votes via bots or alt accounts; this will result in permanent bans. 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.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in an account ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be permanently banned.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules and use critical thinking when reading, posting, and commenting. Users that repeatedly have 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. The reason(s) behind moderator action(s) are publicly available through the Modlog.

That's all the rules!

Look, play victim all you want if it makes you feel better.

Pretty sure the screenshots I posted of your previously banned account, which are a drop in the bucket, show your calls for violence.

Note I didn’t say I’d respect you, just a modicum. To break it down for you, I’m saying that the people on here who regularly call for violent revolution, yeah I’m saying you’re all talk and no action.

It has nothing to do with a difference of opinion, but troll accounts are nothing new. Reddit for example was overrun with troll accounts that actively helped influence elections in 2016, and again in 2024. Accounts supporting both Trump, and Bernie to split the vote after the Dems pulled that stunt with Hillary. Regularly pushing a “both sides” and “voting does nothing” narrative. It’s standard Russian troll farm playbook. So forgive me if I don’t actually take anything a known troll account says to heart.

Also again, it’s not hard to find receipts.

Here’s you calling for gun violence and giving off the impression that you’re not American. If you want, I’ll spend time digging in your current account and I’m sure finding something like this won’t be hard.

Edit: here took less than 45 seconds.

Here’s you saying on your current account that voting doesn’t matter, only gun violence does

Alright. I’m done wading through sewage.

Yeah I'm done reading all your silly filth. All you do is believe in character assassinations and not building Unity. This is why Democrats lose again, you refuse to form a coalition. Absolutely pathetic losers 😂😂😂😉

Can't wait to laugh in your face when the Democrats refuse to impeach Trump and continue funding ice and Israel like the cucks they are 😂😂😂
