Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. 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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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!

In relation to this, thinking about a new community for Political Activism. Calls to action, that kind of thing.

The rules would be super simple:

  1. Purpose is for protest organizing. [Country, City, State]

  2. Absolutely no calls for violent action.

  3. No links to fundraisers. Too rife for fraud and abuse. Stories about fundraisers would be fine, but no GoFundMes, etc.

Think there's room for PolticalActivism?

They abandoned law and order when they shot an innocent woman in the face. You have as well. You're an accomplice. You'll say the wrong shit at the wrong time and get a bullet for your trouble from the very fascists you are simping for.

Keep replying, not like we don't already have your IP

That’s an explicit threat and doxxing intimidation, not an argument. Disagreeing about evidence or law does not make someone an ‘accomplice.'

Boo-hoo. The fascist, who is an explicit threat by existing, doesn't like it when other people apply their own logic against them. You are an accomplice according to the law that you refuse to follow. You are a terrorist and an accomplice according to the rule of law.

Fuck off. This will never be a Nazi bar. If you don't, we will make you.

We now have your address.

I thought you don't engage with people that are telling you to fuck off? I guess I was right. You have no thinking skills, and you fascist can't help engaging with normal people that resist your lies. Fucking weirdo.

You are making explicit threats and advocating violence to silence disagreement. That is harassment and intimidation, not ‘law’ or morality. Disagreeing with you does not make someone a terrorist, an accomplice, or anything else you’re inventing.
