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!

How do I sign myself up to be deported?
Eventually, this comment will be sufficient. Probably sooner than you'd expect.
Problem is, that you probably will be sent to a ~~gulag~~ ~~concentration camp~~ processing center first .

Isn't socialism and communism the opposite of totalitarianism- more or less? So basically "we're going to reject anyone who can't think like a Capitalist and give them all your money, cuz they definitely deserve it"...
throws down newspaper "That's it! I'm running for president!" I'm going to campaign on the mentality of FOSS and advocate for privacy, not big brother and capitalism. I just can't listen to this ludicrous bs anymore.

Yeah, if it went as Marx predicted, and socialism emerged from the contradictions in mature capitalist societies. That has partially happened in a few places on the Nordic tier. But human nature being what it is, some self-described communist parties have instead been totalitarian state-capitalist entitties with strong nationalist features. That applies to the two empires that attempted to leap-frog from feudalism to socialism without an intervening capitalist stage: Russia and China. Both instead recreated the industrial revolution at gunpoint, with no worker control of the means of production. Post-Gorbachev, Russia has abandoned the pretense of socialism entirely and is now a kleptocractic plutocracy. China has doubled down on a form of mercantilist state capitalism. Both retain imperialist tendencies and oppress minority ethnicities within their borders.
