politics
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!

Sure.
Yeah that doesn't magically make them not disenfranchised felons, voting would just be committing a fairly serious crime.
That's fucked up Nazi shit bud.
Oh geez, you can act like that's what I'm saying, but it's not.
Nice try though? Whatever it takes to make you feel less bad about your decisions.
It's literally what you said and doubled down on bud.
Ed: I didn't choose to be a felon nor in fact do most people but you don't seem to even be reading what I'm saying because you're still assuming it's a choice. You're a bigot.
🙄
Excuse me for missing that finally refined nuance.
Geez, you are disingenuous.
Everyone named plastic/ramses is a complete moron.
Well that's great because my username isn't that lol
Also, only a complete moron would assume I'm blaming people who cannot vote because it is illegal.
I'm blaming people like you, who would rather get bogged down in semantics than understand that Trump was much worse than whatever thing they blamed kamala for.
You know what I meant and you're not denying it.
I'm glad we agree you're a complete moron.
I'm a disenfranchised felon dipshit, you're tanking your argument with that alone.
Ed: nice to know you jumped straight to assuming I didn't vote and moreover that I didn't do it for moral reasons thus pricing my point that you know no nuance you're just a fuckin bigot.
Since were talking about nuance - I said people like you, not you specifically, cupcake :)
Yeah that's not nuance that's an idiot that doesn't understand conversational logic.
If I say assholes like you I'm also calling you an asshole.
