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!

You can bring that up with The Hill, the respected news org that published the article. I didn't write it, thought it was interesting. Posted it. That's it.
I've posted articles that are pro-Trump and I've posted articles that are anti-Trump. Same with Harris. Same with Stein.
It's political news, this is a political news community. Thanks!
I'm bringing it to your attention that posting propaganda is the same thing as writing it. This is a political news community, not a political propaganda community.
And I posted a political news article. If you don't think the article fits the community guidelines, then please message the mods. They are very responsive. Thanks!
Sorry, did I say you violated rules? I said you were just as bad as as the propagandists, not that you broke rules. You're just a shitty poster, that's not against the rules.
Also, love that you're still glitching with the thank yous. It really shows that you don't actually give a shit.
Correct. You posted it. Which means you wanted others to read it. And I don't understand posting something written by a piece of shit when there are plenty of other anti Harris articles out there written by not pieces of shit. You don't have to post everything you find interesting, you chose to post this.
And that doesn't answer my question of why you'd find an article praising Trump to be interesting? I'm trying to have a conversation with ya and you seem very resistant to it. I'm not trying to be insulting, I'm just wanting to understand your rationale.
I don't and can't speak for OP, but I had a thought here. Somehow it feels similar to change my mind by steven crowder (for those not familiar, he adopts a position he supports but then seeks out folks who believe the opposite to debate them).
I posted it so that others could read it if they wished. I'm ambivalent about people reading or not reading the articles. And it's not my issue if you don't understand posting something you don't agree with. Feel free to only post things you do agree with. You are free to do that. As I am free to post what I post.
Thank you!
Basically, it's like you feel the urge to share things that strike your interest as opposed to sharing things that you deeply agree with. In fact they may strike your interest because they're so opposite to what beliefs you hold. So there's not always a one-to-one relationship between what's interesting and what one agrees with.
Dear The Hill:
Please make this sea lion stop posting propaganda in favor of trump.
Thanks!
