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!

God damn it. Every time I turn on youtube or anything else on the livingroom TV to keep the dogs entertained there's an automatic 30 second commercial about how Amy Acton was the libral lefty monster who closed schools and businesses and how some time in the past she had an interaction with the cops where there was some level of alcohol and some level of some form of prescription drug in her system, so she can't be trusted and will kill us all.
It doesn't mention if it was half a glass of wine and prescription ibuprofen or 250ml of Fireball and a month supply of percocet. They're just counting on the white trash voters of Ohio to assume it's the one they have the most experience with.
She needs to be out doing good and making people see that she's definitely preferable to her opponent "Nazis riding velociraptors." Instead she's busy punching the people most likely to vote for anyone who isn't Republican in the face for no sane reason.
Fan-fucking-tastic.
“She needs to be out doing good” and ya’ll seriously need to understand that for every halfway decent Dem poltician there are 30 horrible ones, and the people in charge have literally complained about the recent slight shift to the left. She’s not going to be doing good and even if she kept her mouth shut she wasn’t going to be doing anything good.
Here in Canada, a bunch of fuckheads voted against the Conservatives Party but instead of going all-in on the progressives they voted for the Liberal Party and we now have a hyper-conservative dickhead in charge whose only advantage over the other party is not openly hating minorities. They’re perfectly ok with keeping the status quo, though, which includes leaving thise people out to dry.
The US population needs to start making demands. No more voting against the most evil, they need to start voting FOR good.
