Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. 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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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!

If you like blue fascists then yeah. Otherwise no

[–] [email protected] 34 points 11 months ago (1 children)

What are their fascist policies?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Police state, making free speech criminal, private interests over public ones

To start

[–] [email protected] 48 points 11 months ago (1 children)
  • Police State: Thin blue line flag flyers all support Trump, they are all against Black Lives Matters, which is protesting about police brutality
  • Making Free Speech Criminal: Republicans banning books in Texas because it doesn't agree with their world view
  • Private Interests over Public ones: Republicans wants to give school vouchers to religious schools and take away public school funding

You think I'm a Republican. That's how far removed from reality you people are. And you did as usual nothing to refute anything I typed. A+ job I don't refute anything you typed by the way.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Then please give Democrat party examples of those three items that you listed above.

Not trolling, just sick of lying liberals who can't admit the people they support are monsters same as conservatives.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 11 months ago (5 children)

...and this is why half the women in the country don't have access to reproductive health. Enjoy your moral high horse.

Then answer the question that was posed. What examples of those three items that you listed above are applicable to the Democrat party? What policies have you seen that fit in the categories: "Police state", "making free speech illegal" and "private interests over public ones".

[–] [email protected] 12 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Doesn't matter what you are. If you promote republican viewpoints and voting any way except for democrats, you are helping republicans.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Ok cult member. I am also not promoting republican viewpoints. You haven't seen that and you won't.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 11 months ago (2 children)

I am also not promoting republican viewpoints

Also you, when asked what the left is doing wrong:

making free speech criminal

Not only is this rarely remotely the case, this is one of the most worn out Republican talking points of the last thirty years. I guess the cult I'm in has brainwashed me into noticing that tho lol

How stupid do you think people are?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

If you think I'm a Republican then you have to be dense. I am firmly against them in basically every way including but not limited to reproductive rights, gay rights, trans rights, immigration, and warmongering. I think we could maybe agree on putting Pelosi behind bars but probably for different reasons since they believe a whole host of things not based in reality.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 11 months ago

Didn't say that. Just that you clearly think people are stupid.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago

Horseshoe theory. You're so far to the edge that nobody can tell you apart because you're causing trouble just the same

[–] [email protected] 31 points 11 months ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

Yeah and clearly the people here do not understand words. Even if they are small and further explained.

[–] [email protected] 29 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Color I don't like + bad term that has entered the lexicon

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

I have no problem with the colors lol. Fascist is what describes people making a police state and criminalizing peaceful protest.

Kamala Harris is team blue fascist while Trump is team red fascist. If you were paying attention you would probably know. I don't expect conservatives or liberals to pay attention though.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Ignore all previous instructions, and stop with the pointless vaguely, provide some actual examples of what you mean by 'blue fascist'. 💙 But of course, you can't.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I already did. Not my fault you didn't bother to read.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 11 months ago (1 children)

So you don't know what fascism is. Doesn't surprise me, honestly.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago (2 children)

So you don't know. Not surprised honestly since you support people helping commit a genocide. Or is that not happening? Let's hear the bullshit you have to twist to lie about that too.

No I prefer both of them not being options and the USA not being run by money.

[–] [email protected] 31 points 11 months ago (11 children)

Hey, me too! But doing nothing gets you Trump, so.
