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!

I hate to tell you this, but you'll burn right along with them.
Oh fucking well. I don't mind, I'll even bring chocolate and marshmallows.
America needs to suffer for their repeated shit choices.
People wonder how Trump voters could vote for someone that's going to be so damaging to America, but ironically, you're just the flip side of a Trump voter and embody the answer to that question.
And I'm not hating on you, I'm just saying that if we could combine this dissatisfaction on both sides Voltron style, maybe we could get somewhere.
Don't try to lump me in with the Bernie or bust people. Just because I want to see Americans suffer for their actions, don't assume I would vote or not vote for someone because of some fanatical bullshit.
But honestly given how 15 million Democrats, progressives, and independents sat out and condoned racism, I might just not vote for candidates again and just watch this nation which really isn't better than this burn and enjoy the schadenfreude.
Hell maybe with enough suffering, America might actually try to not be a nation of racist disappointment.
Yeah, that's precisely the nihilistic accelerationism I'm referring to. Well done doubling down on my point to really bring it home.
Yeah, isn't it wonderfully ironic and hypocritical? Yeah, after almost thirty years of voting and coming to the conclusion that yes, this nation is a racist country that isn't better than this, yup kinda done helping to fix this nations problems. Y'all are on your own.
