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!

Is Cornel West the guy of the meme of the rent is too damn high?
No, that was some guy running for, I think, NY governor, but not actually running - he just wanted to use his platform to bring light to the issue of rent prices. --I had to google It while typing this out - Jimmy McMillan.
Thanks, the image of the thumbnail looks like him.
I never payed close enough attention, I always thought he looked like Samuel L Jackson in costume
The raised hand got me.
Shit I'll never be able to unsee this.
It's McMillan's gloves and beard that make it for me
Wikipedia, my friend.
What a negative attitude. Why do you respond anyway? Shut up and let other people answer questions then.
It's off script so they don't have a real reply lol
I don't know what that means, and Wikipedia isn't helping me.
Not a negative attitude at all. Wikipedia would explain the differences much better than I could. And I'd be using Wikipedia as my source anyway. If people feel they have a better answer than Wikipedia, then I hope they go for it.
And personally, I always go to Wikipedia first. I find it's more accurate than people posting here.
But hey, you don't HAVE to go to Wikipedia if you don't want to, friend.
