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!

The top-level post uses a gift link with a cap on how many times it can be used. If it runs out, an archived copy is available

I'll note that as a newspaper for the owning class, their hard-news section is much more willing to plainly describe the coup against congress & constitution that's going on than other outlets.

Edit: Indivisible is calling for people to make in-person visits to their congressmembers local offices

weird how you turned this into a dig at Democrats; when they much better represent working people and concerns about climate, education, corporate regulation, healthcare, etc.

That’s not what happened. The only weird thing is that you hallucinated that this is a dig of Democrats.

Perhaps you shouldn’t project your own fascism onto other people’s comments.

you spent five words on Trump, something like 35 shitting on Democrats.

And you spent 12 words defending a Nazi and deflecting the blame for fascism onto me, who is resisting it.

How much is Elon Musk paying you?

I think you overestimate the value of that blue checkmark.

When did he defend Nazis?

“I’m too stupid to realize that I’m gargling Nazi ballsack!” is not defense, it’s an admission that I’m correct, and you’re just as horrible a person as I have already described.

But, go on. Keep blaming me for how incredibly shitty a person you are for defending Nazis. Certainly it’s everyone else’s fault, but yours, right?

You’ve gotta be a troll, right?

If so, good job.
