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!

Currently the left and right are very different from history, before the left was "fuck the government" now it's very much "govern me harder"
The extreme left is those who parade the rainbow everywhere and try to force it in every subject, these people will censor and try to ruin lives of those who don't follow them. They also manufacture racism for their goals. very akin to facism.
The extreme right are those who are too proud of their country, reject everyone that isn't part of it, guns blazing, wanting tradition and will do anything to achieve that.
Then there's the more centralists where I am, but are classified as alt right by media, those who don't care what you do as long as you don't start forcing it or attacking over it, those who want to see both sides but can't as the current power, as I've been saying, is extremely left leaning in what it will present and what is allowed to be talked about.
I tried posting a link that showed that meta manipulated data in the 2020 election depending on what the Biden administration wanted and got banned for "you know what you're doing". Sorry we can talk about Jan 6 but not anything that lead up to that event that caused those people to act out so it doesn't repeat?
Those who don't learn from history are certainly doomed to repeat but it seems the left thinks if it can remove it from history and pretend no one is talking about it then they can get away with it..
We really need a neutral place to post both sides so people can actually maybe hopefully form their own opinions based off having the most information available to them
Again the meme of the leftist pushing the centralist to the right and then complaining "why are you on their side" is very true, the left invites hate and distrust if you aren't fully on their side
