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!

I honestly don't know how you engage with these people in good faith consistently.
We both know there's no good faith there.
Because they have principles you don't agree with?
"I'll drive this country off a cliff" is not a principle. It's Russian influenced accelerationism
"I won't vote for a genocidal duder" is a perfectly fine position. They don't have to subscribe to harm reduction. Stop shitting on your fucking allies. Jesus.
People making sure trump gets elected, like yourself, are my enemies. Furthest thing from an ally I could have. The typical trump supporter at least isn't wearing a mask pretending to be against fascism.
You've lost it. I tell people to vote for Biden, I'm just not a fucking psycho. You've let this shit steal your humanity.
Once your gaslighting fails completely and Trump actually wins because you couldn't lie about Biden's health well enough for people to not bail I'll at least still be here showing you the compassion you can't show for your own peeps.
Lol ally. I don't claim to be anyone's ally. I'm not on your side, or almost anyone's, I'm legitimately talking about you railing at people who are ostensibly and obviously on your side with more hate and vitriol than you could probably find for actual goose stepping nazis. It's pathetic and disgraceful and you need to step back and evaluate how you treat people.
Okay, I said you're pro trump, which, in action, you are. Basic logic I won't go over for the millionth time
Oh, so you actually are a psycho. That's why you said that.
The rest of your comment is a bunch of wild accusations having zero relationship with my reality. Bye.
Yes, me arguing with people IRL that Biden is a better choico is de facto Trump support.
No. I said it because you're treating people poorly. This isn't healthy for you or your party or political goals.
You have less self awareness than either of those old fucks on stage.
Yes you're so versed on me
Fair enough. Prolly too personal. I still think there's room to show compassion to people that are frustrated with Biden.
Either way, hope your weekend goes well.
I have a terrible sickness. 😅
The gaslighting will continue until polling improves.
