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.

Lefty Fundamentalist purity tests are what got us Trump in the first place
How about lets win something before we dismantle our army
The current DNC excluding leftists and allying with Liz Cheney is what got us Trump.
DNC gaslighting goes so hard.
That could be true if you ignore all of the actual events that took place
Chuck Schumer throwing the government shutdown for absolutely nothing?
Hello?
...normal for the left. The conservatives fall in line, they say, but the progressives need to fall in love. They don't follow a name with the loyalty of the cons, and they will bail if the character or progress of the current leader isn't consistent -- or if consensus on goals and direction isn't there.
It’s the shame of having ethics and integrity.
If you remove it, you’re no better than them.
Typical rightie division, demand leftists fall in line and back their shit choices time and time again but throw a fit and try to fuck over any actual leftists from winning at every step.
How about you shut up and stop trying to dismantle us?
What do you do when the people getting protected are hindering those wins?
Hurts to swallow but your right. The problem with Dems is they fail so consistently and intentionally that we never really win enough get out of this mindset
We are often tripped up by trolls.
Billionaires (think Koch Brothers) and authoritarian enemy governments spend untold sums funding troll armies to play the game called:
Let’s you and him fight.
They come with their wedge issues and purity tests and they are very effective.
As soon as we make any headway at all, they come with fresh horrors about transgender girls in high school sports or new pushes to ban guns.
Those issues are perfectly designed to scare any center right (or even center center) supporters back to the GOP.
