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!

Why so negative? We will walk into those chambers hand in hand 🙂
That reminds me, I need to read the Fall of Rome. Gas chambers are hyperbole, but isolation and divisiveness are not, autocracy or theocracy are not, destruction of human rights are not, looking backward instead of forward are not, abandoning friends, allies, causes around the world are not. Throwing away what US has done right is not. Turning us into an anti-developed shithole that has no friends and no one respects is not. Turning us inward so we always fight each other is not. For all Trump’s rhetoric against China, we do ourselves more harm than they ever could
Putin will instruct his trolls to push the "genocide" crap. In fact, he has already started. Americans are such suckers for his psyops.
What an insanely self-destructive thing to say.
If Trump wins, he will not be god emperor despite what he says. He only has what power we cede him. He can be defeated through united resistance even after the election.
Good luck when most of his opponents have been voluntarily disarming themselves.
You mean in the primary or what?
I mean in real life, for the past 40 years
Oh you mean like armed rebellion. I’m not convinced that will be necessary but I guess you never know.
Centrism in exactly one sentence.
and i'll be happy to remind you who was in power in the 50 years before trump, making his presidency possible, and who refused to stop a humanitarian crisis, clinching the victory for him.
His presidency will be made possible by you “genocide Joe” disinformation and/or naive tools.
a claim made without evidence can be dismissed without evidence
Republicans turn America into a fascist theocratic dystopian hellhole
You: fucking Democrats!
yea. because the republicans didn't do it alone. welfare reform, the war on drugs, and the war on terror were bipartisan fascist endeavors.
your russophobia is showing
I wouldn't quote a rule you're breaking
i haven't admitted anything, except that i will not vote for biden.
This is obviously an insane thing to claim, but even if it were to come true, that would mean it's entirely your fault for not turning on genocide Joe months ago. Trying to push a genocider on America is both very foolish and deeply evil. America is a lot of things, but at least so far, we still hate genocide. You would have voted for Hitler. That is a fact, not an opinion.
You're insane. And more importantly, wrong.
Explain why you would have voted against the fascist genocider, even though you are currently pushing a fascist genocider. Cause let's be clear: there is nothing more fascist than literally committing a genocide. All your claims of trump being a fascist are irrelevant when the other guy is literally already being a fascist.
