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!

Is he wrong though?
nuance
Talking about the broad liberal who values hierarchy and private property. That's exactly who ruined this country. Not that I agree with how this guy is going about trying to fix it. But whether you're talking about putting us in our techno capitalist subscription based dystopia, or the land that was burned and decimated to lay its foundation, liberals deserve all the credit.That's true, but in this man's mouth, "liberals" almost certainly means anyone to the left of Hitler, and he doesn't deserve the charitable reading you're giving him. We have to interpret the statement appropriately to who is saying it.
Definitely should've added that to my nuance. He and I are definitely not using the same definition of liberal.
Nah, liberals don't deserve all the credit. Also I'd wager this pig uses liberals to mean "left"
He is wrong to use it as an excuse to be a fascist thug
True, no good reason for that
Not wrong, but for the wrong reasons.
I was gonna say 'you are a "Liberal," jackass!'
