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!

GOOGLE IS A TRILLION DOLLAR CORPORATION
Trump is so fucking stupid he doesnt even know how his party is supposed to work.
There are no leftist corporations.
If anything, Google helps the right with their YouTube algorithm that has to be one of the fastest to right-wing radicalization available. You can open up a recipe video on YouTube and a couple of videos later they'll have you on liberals are making the frogs gay style content.
What if i told you that any group, organization or business that places profits and advertising revenue above objective truth and a quality product is, by default, always going to be right-wing aligned?
It is pretty stupid. My YouTube searches are DIY home repair, how to play guitar, and fountain pen calligraphy ink/font.
“How about some Jordan Peterson!”
It's the DIY stuff. You're like a hairsbreadth away from homesteading, survivalist stuff, then prepper stuff, aaaand finally nutjob stuff.
It's like Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon. " how many categorical degrees of separation are your YouTube channels from wacko right wing nut job shit?"
Damnit. You are right. Need to start watching some GenZ channels.
I read "gay frog style" as Gangnam style... I am very tired
Six degrees of Francis Bacon
Yes but if he threatens them enough maybe they'll fix their algorithm so it isn't serving right wing garbage on a silver platter. I can dream.
People who have power are not right or left anyway.
I doubt they care. They just give you the most outrageous shit they can, since it makes most people interract with it.
That's the thing. He doesn't care about how his party is supposed to work, or what the party line is. His political stances are entirely based on his feelings and whims. Whoever has most recently slighted or inconvenienced him is enemy number one, only to be replaced tomorrow when some other matter irks him.
