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!

It’s not a contest.
Pick a lane.
Do you do what you do to better the country or so you can brag about it and start arguments online? I know which lane I’m in.
Self-righteousness isn’t the flex you think it is. Grow up.
So you think I do all of this for... internet cred? It's sure not for the money. You're gonna be this reductive and ridiculous, but I'm self righteous and need to grow up? Starting arguments? You came to me, man.
You're upset because why? Because I responded to your Internet armchair activism slogan with a real response? Isn't that what you wanted? You told me to do something about it. I'm doing something about it. I really don't know what you're bent about.
You're not only not in a lane, I'm not sure you know where the road is at this point. Get it together, man.
After a tantrum like that, I’m not the one who needs to get it together.
Best of luck to you.
Yeah. I kinda thought you were all talk.
lol, says the guy who came here just tell stories and pick a fight with strangers
Didn't we just go through a whole thing where I'm actually doing, and you're kind of just condescendingly implying that I'm not?
Maybe get away from your keyboard and "turn that anger into political action"
I didn’t imply anything. You took an innocent suggestion and inferred something that wasn’t there, then proceeded to go on a massive brag dump and tantrum.
Now it’s time to move on.
