Rules:

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.

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.

It's only effective because those who could do something didn't do shit for one reason or the other.

Agreed. This strategy works best in a two party system. Much easier to divide and conquer only 2 choices. Not so much with ranked choice voting and multiple parties. The US was a time bomb of corruption wating to be purchased from either political party. Putin just paid the most for GOP access and got it.

Not quite, I'm mexican, not from the USA and it's the same thing, we are being stripped from our rights, censored and constantly bombarded by propaganda because those who could have done something (example: punish those in power who were breaking the law) didn't do anything.
Civilians were protesting but they were ignored so... Here we are, having a shitload of political parties is pointless since the voters gave practically absolute power to one.
