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!

There was a random right wing Floyd vid on TikTok. The comments were trash and usual right wing talking points and fake news.
I commented “even if he was Hitler, he has the right to trial and not be murdered slowly on the street” and my post was removed.
Great.
The right wing censors everything that is not lockstep with whatever the current message is. They carefully curate their message boards while decrying when others do it.
I used to use Reddit a lot and I talked a lot of shit over the years. The only time I got a temp ban was for posting that the GOP should take out Ron Desantis like the dirty diaper he is on a Pro-Trump discussion.
When I pointed out my comment was rather tame compared to the others ones on the post the mods claimed I was harassing them and tried to get my account banned. It was insane but I learned an important lesson.
Reddit mods are insane. I pointed out the hypocrisy of the the r/news mods in that they would delete any story that didn't suck of Israel, while keeping the pro Israel post open and unlocked, they fuckin banned me. Then when I complained to the reddit admins they permabanned me. Reddit is a cesspool and I hope they go broke.
