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!

Nader is the first I've read who says what I've been thinking: when does the killing begin?
That will seem like an extreme statement to some, but a campaign of terror is absolutely coming.
Not extreme at all. Fucking Trumpies stormed the capitol over conspiracy theories - why aren't we doing the same for our rights and freedoms?
Guillotine the motherfuckers.
Because since we believe in reality, and we're not in a cult, it's a lot harder to get us organized for anything.
It's why cults are so fucking dangerous in a democracy. How do you even fight people who refuse to compromise or accept reality?
I mean, how many COVID deniers denied it up to their literal last breath? Plenty.
We have skepticism and stepping back for self-reflection and considering other options. They have what their God Trump tells them, and that's it.
the reality IS that they will come for you if you don't strike first. you people need to understand how wars work.
Hey, lots of us understand, that doesn't make it any easier to organize other people.
i guess we just have to keep saying it does. if you were trying to prepare, you'd want to start telling people now. it has to be an inescapable message in social media.
Technically the killing has already begun, but the deaths probably are incidental to Musk randomly turning off shit.
That's still structural murder.
I mean, it either starts because nobody in power is listening or because people have already been stripped of what they're afraid to lose.
what kind of terror?
