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!

Just another demented MAGA turd trying to sound intelligent. All the buzzwords are there to keep the base frothing at the mouth: liberal, controlling interest/deep state, bad, communism.
"both sides" too
E.g.:
Being genocidal racist fascists
Or...
Wanting affordable healthcare for all Americans and therefore being "communist"
How does one choose between such evils?
It's a fucking Nazi coward afraid to speak their true feelings. They say both sides, pretending they feel both were bad, but you can see their real opinion.
Holy fuck that is funny. As though an analysis of factual information were even in the realm of speculative potential for the republican brain.
He's clever. It's a great joke.
perhaps it takes them great mental investiture to see the link between the soviet union and communism
I know I struggle to see the link between the Soviet Union and communism, but I suppose that's what I get for getting my definitions of words from the dictionary.
Quote him: "There were no ‘good guys’ in that war."
It isn't enough to criticize him for not considering the Allies the good guys, but you just have to go that one step further and claim that he believes something that is directly contradicted by what he wrote?
It's like people are afraid of encountering someone who is less than 100% wrong/bad/evil, and refuse to believe there is anyone between 'saint' and 'demon'. Must be exhausting living with such a starkly binary outlook.
He thinks they were the bad guys.
Wow, you're a sharp one, nothing gets past you.
You are justifying Nazi revisionists and sympathisers. I really don't give a fuck what you think.
Are you dumb or something? 'Nazis were the bad guys' is not sympathy or revisionism, lmao.
Now you're revising. Go away.
No, the people desperately trying to twist "no good guys" into 'he means these were the good guys' are the ones revising. Obviously.
Sounds like you are describing a video game. The whole "if they say X it means X because those are the rules of the language." I mean.
Or... he said "there were no good guys", so claiming that he's saying Nazis were the good guys is really, really stupid.
"I think all vegetables are disgusting."
"He's saying celery is delicious, guys."
Dopes.
On paper it sounds funny, doesn't it? How can a guy randomly saying everyone was bad in WW2 mean he secretly thinks Nazis were alright?
Easiest way to get at the logic is to dissect people who say "both sides are the same." How can that mean they're actually pro MAGA or whatever? Didn't they just say that both sides are the same? That's against the rules of English! But it makes sense if you dig deeper.
