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!

lmao you'd have to not be American to think Democrats qualify as "the opposition" after they conducted an internationally-recognized genocide and sent police to beat nonviolent student protestors opposing that genocide
The left has no federal representation in America and no upper-level state representation either. Greens won some local elections but that's about it I think.
Right so this is why you guys prefer trump and we are supposed to think you’re sane? You hate the democrats so much that a pedo Nazi is preferable, that is insanity. Cause all you’re doing is helping trump and his pedos and racists, you’re being a far right conservative stooge. At least own it, say it. The democrats are so bad you prefer trump. Say it.
As a non American i can’t tell the difference between MAGA and you guys anymore, you both support trump in different ways, you help him by helping his campaign and attacking his political enemies for him. You oppose anyone who wants to stand up to him. You refuse to vote for democrats. So what’s the difference between you and MAGA? Nothing.
You guys bitched that you didn’t want the old white man anymore, so they gave you an educated black woman and you went “eeew no”
Then you played right into the hands of trump, Putin and Netanyahu and let them spoon feed you the narrative you wanted. They committed genocide while pointed the finger elsewhere and you ate that shit up
Who tf said I prefer Trump? lol liberal mindrot, didn't even read the rest of whatever you said
Typical American
The typical American is too busy to read dumb Blue MAGA (except not even from America) ramblings? Yeah true
Not even American, I know you guys think entire in the world is your footstool and everyone online must be American but we’re not.
If I was American I’d end myself
...yeah, I know, that's why I said "except not even from America". Guess that high-caliber non-American education system still struggled to help you with reading comprehension.
