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!

Okay, cool. So you DO understand why I brought her up in a list about corporations and how they harm the public. She's a great classic example. Glad you admitted many of my examples were classics that would be mentioned in academia because they are notable.
What analysis am I making that is "kindergarten level?" I thought you just said it was college level? Social studies 101, no?
I've existed online for a long time. I used to be afraid to openly be a woman. I know how people treat me when they think I'm a woman versus a man. Yes, you and that other person come across as blatantly sexist. Any time I get unwarranted vitriol, it's pretty obvious because I used to not get it when I was pretending to be a man. I can see how people (including mods on this sub) respond to the men I'm arguing with, give them sooooo much leeway to call me names and argue, but if I fight back and don't act like a submissive woman, they try to punish me to get back in line. Hence why all misogynists are fascists.
Like here. The original commenter asked: "What are Dems shills for?"
I answered - corporations.
Then they wanted to know, essentially, if being a shill for a corporation was as bad as being a shill for a foreign hostile nation (Russia). Ergo, I bring up many notable cases where corporations have harmed people. More Americans have died to corporations than to Russia.
This is just true. So what's so offensive about it you have to malign me?
Hey you're right. Sorry having a bad day. I deleted my comments
Oh wow. Cool. Thank you. Unexpected but appreciated. Hope your day gets better 💛
My profile. My avatar. My username. All grill.
Why did you push back? What was the point of ypur criticism? As I've stated, it was one of several examples that supported my position. That it's a classic example doesn't refute it. So what's so upsetting to you that you have to be hostile?
Saying stuff like "End me," and "Jesus," and "you're juvenile," isn't a position. So ironic how much projection people do - you complain about argumentation and then proceed to comment with 2 terrible arguments that lack any refutations or substance. So yeah, I will assume that the random hostility for no reason is because you have something going on with yourself. It's clearly not about what I actually said. Good luck with that.
