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!

Ok, first of all, fuck you, you condescending fuck.
Hey dipshit - you do realize that 10s of millions of people just straight up didn't vote in the last election, right? And that the number of Trump voters has been fairly constant since 2016?
Stop wasting your breath trying to coddle these fucking traitors. Focus instead on the people who didn't give enough of a shit to vote against them. Maybe if we all loudly condemn the traitors and draw lines in the sand, we can shake a few million apathetic idiots loose in the process. Princess sugar tits.
I would love to hear your reasoning as to why you're going to have more success trying to be nice to traitors in the hopes that they will no longer be traitors than in convincing someone that not voting against a person who actively hates America is a bad thing. I mean, you're going to have to really put your foot into this one, because that whole premise sounds stupid as fuck.
Great. Continue beating that drum, you fucking moron. See how that works out for you. I accept your vote, but you will never get my gratitude, you Vichy motherfucker.
Edit: Oops - I'm sorry. According to your idiotic theory, my being mean to you means that you're going to vote for a fascist. Please, Mr. Rational Guy, sir, please don't vote for Trump in 2028 (assuming we still have elections by then) - I promise I'll be really really nice to you! Fucking idiot.
