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!

Yeah, like the time when we talked Hitler down politely and appeased him and everything was totally fine after
Don't you remember? He was herding crippled jewish homosexuals into the camps like a cowboy herds cattle, when suddenly Kylie Jenner showed up and was like "Chill out Hitler, have a Pepsi!"
It was a Diet Pepsi, that's why they called it D-Day
(I am being insanely sarcastic)
Yeah, and like that time that one of those armchair internet heroes actually faced a neo nazi without pissing their pants.
Oh wait, that never happened.
You know what has happened, loads of times, though? Judges and juries sending people to jail for assault and battery after they punched somebody for no reason.
That none of you here understand that simple principle tells me that you still have a lot to learn about the real world.
I live in Portland. I've been confronted face to face by plenty of you assholes over the past few years.
Somehow I'm still walking free. I must be the exception that proves the rule
Thank you for making the point that "punch a Nazi" is really really bad because assholes like YOU immediately conflate everyone who disagrees with you with Nazis too.
But so you're saying that you've assaulted many people already for no reason. You weren't sttacked, you weren't defending yourself, you simply saw someone with an opinion or attitude that you didn't like, and you assaulted them.
Yeah, you're a horrible violent criminal and you should be in jail. Probably get mental help too. In any case, you're much much worse than your average neonazi
I was confronted by checks notes um. Nazis. Proud Boys, Patriot Front... literal same shit. They came into my city and menaced people. I didn't seek them out.
I'm still here and thriving. Somehow your heroes are all getting jailed.
Shitty Nazi apologists thinking I'm an awful person isn't the drunk you think it is
Did I ever say neo Nazi's are heroes? Poiint me where.
I'm saying you cannot assault people. Literally all I did, and judges, juries and police are all in agreement on that.
So you are more in.favor of an anarchistic society where vigilantism is a thing of the day. I'm sure there's no way that could backfire or cause innocent people to be swept up in it. You're pretty much what you say you are against, really.
