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!

congrats on not understanding how being a refugee works you privileged neocon
Can't wait for the influx of "refugees" coming from the US to Canada.
hahaha incoming admin wants to do genocide against certain populations in this country. people wanting to not die will desperately go anywhere they can get where they're not getting killed. very easy to be dismissive now that you've put the word refugee in quotes. you really owned my leftist ass. i guess ben shapiro and jordan pedersen taught you well how the world works and all the scared people just need to cooperate more with the governments that want to kill them.
I literally go on vacation to the US, it's a safe first world country lol.
As for the genocide stuff, I don't buy into the hype that that is actually going to happen but I'll believe it when I see it
cool. you go on tour to the safe parts of our country and walk around with all the privilege of someone who feels safe doing so. meanwhile our marginalized people get beat to death by cops with no accountability, or else executed for crimes they provably didn't commit, or simply die of exposure from not having housing or enough money for healthcare, and you presume to know the motives of the people who feel emboldened by the admin. with this entitlement, you feel free to talk down to someone who walks around in these streets and has lost friends and loved ones in the blood soaked machinery of our system of violence about how it's all in our heads.
i just say all this in hopes that someone sees what you're saying and sees this response and questions how authoritative your position is. i don't think you can be woken up to the truth. you're too far down a propaganda rabbit hole. i just don't want your bullshit left unchallenged because the prevalence of your brand of ignorance is getting me and my friends killed.
Yeah and Canada is full of dark shit too. That's why I think it's ridiculous that people think they can flee the US to here and call themselves refugees. It's just another side of the exact same coin.
You cite free healthcare. Do you even understand how many people are dying in Canada due to not receiving any care at all? The gov introduced the MAID program because it's easier to just let people kill themselves than it is to actually address the non existent healthcare system.
And do you understand how many people are dying on the streets here due to an intentional lack of housing?
I can go on and on. But sure yeah, come here and enjoy freezing on the streets I guess. At least you will be accepted as a gay person while you freeze I guess.
Like this is literally the canadian experience right now lmao
