- 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.
- 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.
- 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.

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.

What’s your problem with Sarah Longwell?
Probably the fact that she was part of the coordinated attack on Hasan Piker. She's also not as good at her job as she purports to be.
Hmm… OK, I can understand that criticism. I’m not a really big fan of Hasan Piker, myself, but I do think that some of her criticisms were unfair and even mean-spirited.
I like The Bulwark because it helps give me a more balanced perspective, but I have to remember all of them are a bunch of ex-Republican never-Trumpers, and it seems they still have some of their old bad habits.
She’s a neocon warmonger for one.
She’s an ex-neocon, and I’m not entirely sure about the warmonger part. Having heard her speak a lot recently, it really doesn’t seem that way to me. She’s definitely spoken out against both the wars Israel and the United States are participating in, the genocide and Gaza, and the war between Ukraine and Russia.
Of course, she and the rest of the crew at The Bulwark are a bunch of ex-Republican never-Trumpers (which they’re very open about), so I wouldn’t exactly call them a bunch of lefty liberals. And they definitely carry around some of their old bad habits. I can definitely understand why you don’t like her.
