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

Why are you guys getting so personally triggered by a one-word comment? They said it's performative. Yes, the liberals do it too. Is this a sports game? Are we keeping scores? Is your team winning?
When Liberals do it they are met with joy and praise. If anyone makes it a team sport it is not us.
Had folks gleefully quoting Kamala her performative speeches yesterday as an "argument".
That's certainly what your propaganda would like you to think. In reality, most of us are sick of our elected politicians and the political theatre. We don't worship politicians the way people on the right do.
Liberals do worship their politicians to the level where there is NO accountability. They may whine about their actions, but will willingly, and without question, vote for their reelection.
Liberals chided Trump for saying he could shoot someone on 5th avenue and not lose a single voter while voting for Biden after helping slaughter Palestinian children. Liberals overlook Obama denying due process to 75% of those he deported, while screaming that Trump is doing that.
Edit, I guess mods around here are filtering words in posts?
I included the word bi*tch and it auto edits to removed
That's such an unnuanced take it's impressive
If genocide wasn't your red line, what exactly would it be?
For voting? red lines are for revolution. A redline to not vote simply reduces my own ability to have a voice in politics to no benefit.. It's short sighted virtue signaling that brings no benefit to myself or others. My redline is anti authoritarianism.
🍻
Liberals love their blue authoritarianism, so much they refuse to acknowledge it
Blue is pretty shit. But it's not authoritarianism. It's a mistake to call it as such
It's hard to hear about liberal authoritarianism when they are all at brunch.
lmao you think there are actual liberals in the party/or supporters, they dont even make up majority of voters. you are thinking like a conservative would, you're no better than they are.
It's liberals that are no better than conservatives, they are also right wing
I know you believe this, but this is why people don't take .ml people seriously lol
BlueMAGA says what?
What a child
Pointing out how Democrats are EXACTLY like their MAGA counterparts bother you?
Wow, how bad faith. I never said anything like that lol. You just have yourself all worked up and confused bud.
But if you think they're so exactly the same I can point out some differences. One is their stance on gun control. I don't think they're EXACTLY the same on that topic. If you need to I can mention some more differences.
You confuse their talk about gun control vs their actions
I mean, I don't even have to argue anymore. There are tons of ways, like looking at what foundations they fund, what legislation they pass around gun control, and such, but I don't even need them. If you're going to be overly general I can be pedantic. Their talk about gun control is different, you just admitted. Sounds like they're not EXACTLY the same huh?
Liberals most definitely worship their politicians in the exact same way the MAGA crowd does.
How so? Which politicians do leftists worship?
I said Liberals not Leftists.
Really avoided answering that question huh
Not at all. If you want you can correct it and ask it again.
If you can't understand the core of that question without me spoon feeding it to you, you're not worth the time having a conversation with. You seem insufferable.
If you think they anywhere near the same thing there is no value to be had conversing with you.
Oh look, an assumption. Proving my point bud.
Oh look a person who refuses to admit their mistake. Proving my point bud
Never refuted that I made a mistake. I can say I did, I did. Doesn't bother me none, that was never the issue. It was you acting purposefully ignorant as a way to talk down to me. Take a step back, you proud about how you're handling yourself? You're not going to convince anyone of anything. If anything, people will have a bad taste on anything you say.
Instead of staying in topic you decided to spril into hammering semantics. The only take away I can have is you're either a troll or this is all a deflection from the question. Either way, I don't care. You're a waste of time. I'll block you because I know you can't help butb reply. You're welcome lol.
Confusing Liberals and Leftists is like confusing Republicans and Leftists.
My bad. I was assuming that you were confusing liberals with leftists. So, which politicians do liberals worship?
Bernie Sanders.
So... You claim to understand the difference between liberals and leftists, and you think liberals worship Bernie? Bernie has spent his life fighting against liberalism. Why would liberals worship him?
Bernie fights for the establishment not against it. He is a grifter.
How so?
Still. Name one.
Keep up that performance, boy.
If that were true, Al Franken would still be a sitting Senator. We'd still have Rod Blagojevich, Anthony Weiner, and Bob Menendez.
Really? Where are all the signs, the flags, the people getting tattooed. People are calling Trump God, building him statues. If you look at the MAGA cult and say the other side is the same, turn you're detached from reality my guy.
You may be tired of it, but keep going back for more. That's how the party of people like Carter are now the party of people dog whistling to Republicans
