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!

You got us. We’re pushing the nefarious narrative of *checks notes* helping you idiots not get shot.
Excluding all the car-on-pedestrian deaths would be like excluding all the gunman-on-unarmed deaths, lol.
Ok, here's Motherjones guide to mass shootings
Or here's Pew Research:
The rate of children dying to firearms in the US is 6.01 per 100,000
The rate of children dying to firearms in Canada is 0.21 per 100,000
In 2023, 754 people died in mass shootings in the USA.
In Canada, there have been 171 deaths to mass shootings for all of the 21st century so far.
We would have had to lose 83 people per year to shootings to keep up with you for 2023. We lost 11.
They're right though. All you have is "anti 2a" and "mass shooting doesn't mean what you think it means"
so you fold by arguing bullshit. Hey bright lights - guess what - easy gun availability in the US has an impact on canada!
it's not law abiding citizens importing guns that's the problem, it's all the criminals shipping them across the border.
Same with mexico.
But you're a gun nut, you don't fucking care, be honest.
Someone could shoot your mom in the face and you'd still say it wasn't guns fault.
lol what a baby.
you're fine with kids getting murdered but not some harsh criticism.
they're both idiots.
I’m glad you cleared your self-imposed goal posts.
EDIT: oh no! You didn’t! You were lying and hoping no one would notice! Nice job.
Sorry, couldn’t hear you over the sound of your dog whistle.
It’s the guns.
Lol, hears gang and thinks minority.
You need to reassess how you think about people.
DARVO
Didn't ask for the help, thanks anyways.
I didn’t realize you spoke for all the idiots.
Makes sense.
They call me Emperor Idiot down at the gun range where I run a class for children. Thank you very much.
