Politics
For civil discussion of US politics. Be excellent to each other.
Rule 1: Posts have the following requirements:
▪️ Post articles about the US only
▪️ Title must match the article headline
▪️ Recent (Past 30 Days)
▪️ No Screenshots/links to other social media sites or link shorteners
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. One or two small paragraphs are okay.
Rule 3: Articles based on opinion (unless clearly marked and from a serious publication), misinformation or propaganda will be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, ableist, will be removed.
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a jerk. It’s not acceptable to say another user is a jerk. Cussing is fine.
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.

Bud this is a US politics community. Using standard American TLAs (three letter acronyms ;) ) in an American community when discussing an American article is completely acceptable imo.
No point in getting a little spicy when you're the one out of place - "when in Rome", yeah?
Fun fact: DOJ is an initialization, whereas PAC is not.
Initialism* ;P
Damn autocorrect, my sporadic but insistent nemesis. 😅🤷🏼♂️
I'm beginning to think autocorrect is against us now.
That is a fun fact! What's the difference?
Whether the end result is pronounced as a "word".
FBI, VPN, and DNA are initialisms. SCUBA, NATO, and MoDem are acronyms.
Hope that helps, friend.
Well that's just nifty. Thanks for letting me know!
Maybe to you don't pronounce DOJ as a word, but I do
