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!

Conservatism should be illegal. Nothing good in the history of mankind has ever come from it. The only things to come from conservatism are oppression, bigotry and death.
Your defense of conservatism is incongruent with the historical tendency of every nation's most conservative population to oppress the vulnerable.
Your definition of the word conservative is impractical as it casts all participants of a functional culture as conservatives. In this way, you and I have different definitions of the word, which makes this an unimportant argument of semantics, rather than a profound ideological debate.
You prefer to defend conservatives by re-labelling them as something distinct, but this only allows conservatives to wiggle out of the crosshairs over and over again as they point to the "other" conservatives as the culprit of their collective behavior.
If it’s conservative to do any of those things then all democrats are conservative. Which isn’t true so this is not correct.
Conservative is a political party. And it should be illegal.
Eh, your democrats in the US are Conservative to Europe. Your "left wing" is pretty much on par with our right wing.
This is true. There are only a handful of progressives in the Democrat Party.
We don't have a progressive party. We have a conservative party and a more conservative party.
