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!

Everyone with any moral conscience knows liberals, at their core, do not give a fuck about the marginalized any more than Republicans. Their primary concern is protecting their status in society at the expense of the marginalized. They talk about BLM while voting for the people that caused the need for BLM to exist. They talk defund the police while supporting the people building 100 cop cities across the country being trained by the IDF. They shed crocodile tears about kids in cages under Trump while ignoring who built them and that there are STILL kids in cages in facilities with no or minimal AC in Texas and Arizona summers.

And now they are overlooking genocide because the other guy might do it too.

Everyone with any moral conscience knows tankies, at their core, actively want people to suffer, even more than Republicans. Their primary concern is feeling morally superior according to their half-baked philosophy at the expense of the marginalized. They talk about revolution while voting in ways that lead to death, suffering, and destruction of groups that they do not belong to. They talk about political violence from their parents' basements, which of course others are supposed to lead the way on. They shed crocodile tears about kids in Palestine, blaming any Democrat, while ignoring that their actions will set in motion a much worse path for Palestine and many other groups around the world.

And now they are actively supporting genocide because they need to ignore reality to continue feeling morally superior.
