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 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.
  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 another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. 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.
  4. 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 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!

maybe you should leave the country then. i'm here to win because i care about what this planet looks like after i'm gone. there is no place for cowards any more.

I don't live in your third world country where the only way to beat fascism is with your own list of "undesirables" to purge as soon as you have the power to do so.

i care about what this planet looks like after i'm gone

It's starting to look pretty faschy to me either way.

there is no place for cowards any more.

But to be clear: you're not calling for violence right?

for the record, i care about what happens to the planet. sometimes i say i don't for the sake of my own ego.

we've spoken before. i think you are a weak person with no solutions, content to allow the continual slide of our western society into dystopia. there is probably no reason for us to continue speaking as our values don't align.

No one said otherwise, did you reply to the wrong comment? Or did you not bother reading the previous comment before replying to it?

You've made it very clear that you want the planet to not have anyone on it who disagrees with you, and that's okay as long as you believe you are the "good guys." That's a talking point straight out of Israel.

we've spoken before.

I have no idea who you are so I guess your arguments weren't very compelling then either.

i think you are a weak person

Ad hominem does not discredit my points that your arguments sound the same as a fascist. If my argument is so "weak" it should be trivial to provide a counter argument.

there is probably no reason for us to continue speaking as our values don't align.

If you're only interested in communicating in an echo chamber of people who agree with you maybe this isn't the right place for you.
