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!

Actually, I stole the election. I tried to pass it to my buddy Bernie Sandz for him to toss to Kamala, but it got intercepted by Ding Dong Don-Don and his friend, ~~Melonie~~ the Apartheid Profit—they somehow managed to convince enough crowd members to play defense for them, it was pretty crazy. Anyway, I was trying to cheat, but they cheated better than I did. Sorry y'all.
Can we stop misgendering Elon?
Gender is not an weapon to be used to insult.
Man does literal Nazi salutes and the worst people can call him is to stoop to his level and insult women and trans people?
You know what? I usually have that same reaction when people pronounce "Elon" like "Ellen." I wasn't even thinking about the name "Melanie" at the time. I originally wrote "Melony," but that looked incorrect, so I changed the y to an ie.
I'd seen someone else write F Elon, so "felon" was in my brain, so I wanted to call him"Felony," but that seemed lame, which led to "Melony," and you get this picture.
Anyway, all those mental hoops that I jumped through to end up accidentally seeming like I was trying to use gender as an insult—something I'm totally not cool with.
If anyone's read this far, thanks, and I apologize for my comment seeming like I was trying to misgender Elon like it's part of some sort of joke. Elon deserves worse than that kind of insult, and the types of people that it actually harms deserve better.
@[email protected], even though it wasn't my intent, thank you for calling me out on this. I'd hate to be another voice piling onto marginalized communities or promoting toxic masculinity.
You’re a good egg fartographer! That was very well said and a great show of introspection.
Is it weaponizing gender or poking fun of him replacing his wife with Elon?
Yo mama stole the election
Good for her! I've been worried about her finding a new hobby after retiring
No. I'm Spartacus.
