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!

As a Democrat, I hope this sends home the message that gun control isn’t your friend. Obviously nobody is pro gun-violence, but since neither party gives a fuck about mental health, that’s not going to change anyway.
If you’re a Democrat and you’re not armed, you’re part of the problem and have helped to enable Trump. Kamala herself knows this, she’s a former prosecutor and has talked about that in the past.
And yes, I know that sucks. I’m not saying any of this with glee.
Yes people that feel comfortable with it should absolutely be training with firearms right now.
This is crazy nonsense. There's a million other ways to provide support and never pick up a firearm. Even if we were in a hot civil war there would be plenty of value in other forms of support.
Look to Ukraine for some understanding of things. Yes back end support is important in war, but people being armed and willing to fight is more important.
As Leftist in the states continue to disarm they’ll continue to allow themselves to be treaded on. It’s our job to be armed and stay trained and prepared.
So you and your gun fucker friends take back our country? This is it. Time to act. But wait... Y'all aren't doing a thing except blaming non gun owners for allowing this to happen. A coward with a gun is still just a coward.
It's a very small piece of a much larger puzzle.
