Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. 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:

  1. Articles must be relevant to US politics and contain quality and original content. Social Media adjacent hosts like Substack are allowed, but ONLY if they tie back to a company/subsidiary. No personal or friend group blogs and no self-promotion. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and re-hosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. 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 other users of being bots or paid actors.
  3. No memes, trolling, misinformation, or low-effort posts/comments (including reposts). If you see posts like this that anger you, do not engage. Report, block, and live a happier life than they do. Any slap-fight is subject to comment removals. Fights full of rule violations will result in temporary bans to cool off.
  4. No manipulating votes via bots or alt accounts; this will result in permanent bans. 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.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in an account ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be permanently banned.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules and use critical thinking when reading, posting, and commenting. Users that repeatedly have 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. The reason(s) behind moderator action(s) are publicly available through the Modlog.

That's all the rules!

Democrats started this insanely racist smear campaign, against El-Sayed. Neera Tanden, the same genocide supporting bigot that started the racist campaigns against Obama started this in the midterms. She’s a sloppy drunk twitter troll that needs to be run out of the party.

Oh, well, glad to know that makes calling for murder okay then.

No one said that but your brain

Yeah…. that’s what I was implying. Brilliant take.

We are allowed to call out racism and Islamophobia on both sides. It is a cancer. You don’t excise a cancer in one part of your body and ignore it in another part simply because it is less threatening right now. No. You radiate it. You inject it with chemicals and poison and destroy it.

Besides, I would say there are factions within the democratic party that would love to see the very same outcome the mouth breathers at this Trump rally (because that’s what this was) are calling for. They’re just not stupid enough to scream it in a crowd.

I have no truck with calls for violence. I do not accept them from fascists, and I do not accept them from you. You can fuck all the wy off.

You should probably try to read more. You have comprehension issues.
