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!

Perfectly proves my point.
This community is just “if you’re not “vote blue no matter who” you’re a dumb nazi”.
Since I don’t live in the States, I’m not voting blue. But I still think Republicans are dumb nazis.
Am I an outlier, or are objective facts tough for you to swallow?
Maybe you’ll find more friends on Truth Social 👋🏻
As though that's far enough to the right for him.
You guys keep proving the point, over and over again.
The point, which will always be lost on you, is that we see no reason to engage, or take seriously, an ideology based on lies, hate, and oppression—one that cultivates division, stupidity, and has zero actual redeeming values that do not involve restricting human rights.
Nobody owes your archaic political views a platform. We—and I speak for the proudly 'woke' progressive leftists, who value the rights of others and believe in equality and diversity—are sick of your self-centred psychopathy.
There are plenty of platforms for you to circlejerk with feeble minded xenophobes while sucking off your grifting conservative overlords.
If you can't respect the rights of minorities, the poor, the disenfranchised, then you have no value to me. You're either conning others or being conned. That's the extent of your "values."
You're all just weak, scared little children who have the same capacity for self-reflection as a fucking turnip.
Every argument is disingenuous; every political position is based on bad science and lies. And you still complain like whiney little bitches when you get shunned by the rational free-thinking majority.
Go and wipe that drool off your chin with your Pauline Hanson flag, you mouth-breathing regressive bogan Nazi.
Yes, point proven.
Teach me your ways of rhetoric senpai.
You’ve mistake me for a republican and or a conservative. I’m neither.
I’m against echo chambers and “my side and their views are right by default, all others are wrong” views. That’s what this community seems to be, unquestionably. Look at everything that’s posted - it’s all anti-republican/conservative.
Again - your entire post just proves my point.
I'm a leftist, and I'm "mistaken" for a republican all the time. It's projecting. A lot of what is accused of by my party they are guilty of themselves. They're crazy if they don't think their own rhetoric isn't just as bad or worse than what Republicans currently say.
The brainwashing into being able to dehumanize others is horrific. Yet here we are.
The current "left" seems to be "as soon as you disagree with any of my points, you're a MAGA Trumper Republican Nazi".
You can be trying to fight climate change, want all people to have equal rights, be pushing for a UBI, supporting reparations for indigenous people, but the second you dare say "hey maybe we should just keep the books telling you how to have anal sex away from the 10 year olds?" you're instantly a nazi.
The only person you're fooling is yourself.
Also, "leftism" isn't a party.
And I'm not dehumanizing anyone. They're all human. Just very shitty versions.
Politics and vitriol aside, well done on winning the Ashes. The fifth test starting tomorrow should be a cracker.
Cheers. Pretty shitty way to win tbh. I hate draws in a sport where a match has gone for 5 bloody days.
What objective facts do you have that most/all Republicans are nazis?
Nazi = Fascist. Trump= Fascist. Trump= Republican. Republicans= Fascist. Republicans = Nazi. We can’t wait for the evidence of mass graves this time.
In most democracies you don't have the toxic two party split ala US. There are intelligent conservaties, but the Republican party is ... kinda wild.
There’s always some right wing snowflake whining yet adding nothing. We’re all doing our part. You’re doing yours. Maybe you can make a joke about identifying as a helicopter now, and you’ll be done for the rest of the year.
You got it.
Think the issue is more with republicans than with the community
Again, proving the point.
