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!

I will never call Facebook by another name.
It's still called Facebook... The parent company changed names, you refusing to call Facebook the product of meta is just silly... Meta is the evil corporation that makes Facebook.
Elon bought Twitter and changed it to x, you refusing to call it by its old name doesn't change that fact and doesn't change it back to Twitter magically. It's weird, but whenever.
Do you refuse to call Walmart anything but Walton's? Do you refuse to say Firefox because it shall forever be Firebird? Do you refer to the iPhone as the product of Apple Computers?
Products change names, get over it.
Do you just like arguing with people online? Because if you didn’t know… the debate-bro persona isn’t as edgy and controversial as you seem to want it to be.
If you were paying attention, (you weren’t) you’d have noticed I never said a thing about the social media platform. I said FACEBOOK; as in- THE COMPANY.
So… maybe instead of typing up seething paragraphs and failed “gotcha’ moments, you should go find a book on how to read for context.
It’ll save you some embarrassment in the future.
Keep arguing with people online, you’re so productive and you’re changing so many minds, ahahahahaha
