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!

Yet you're responsible for more posts that cast Trump in a positive light than anyone I can think of. For someone who says he's not for Trump, you seem to be working hard to get him elected.
There isn't much Point engaging with this person. They're so desperate for interaction good or bad. Or so mentally off that they created a community for Scientology to discuss it's benefits. Of which there are none unless you're David miscavage. Where is Shelly David?
Ah, okay, thanks
I took down the scientology community for now because I'm concentrating on writing short stories for another community. But the Scientology community will be back soon. Thanks for the shoutout, friend! :)
Posting links to articles that you think cast Trump in a positive light isn’t illegal, nor does it violate the rules of this community, no matter how many people here might wish otherwise.
I also didn't vote for him. Thank you! :)
Who said anything about it being illegal or a violation? I was just pointing out that you keep saying you didn't vote for him but you keep spamming giant amounts of positive press for him.
The most charitable I can be towards you is that you're like the press who would keep giving air time to the "scientists" who argued against the notion that humans were causing climate change, even though they were less than one percent of the scientific community. Lots of people came away thinking it was a big debate among scientists when it wasn't, and that contributed to the problem we have today.
More likely, I think, is that for whatever reason you're trying to get Trump elected and so you're doing the disingenuous Joe Rogan thing of trying to look unbiased while pushing an agenda.
Nobody said it was illegal or a violation. I just put it out there for others who seem to not realize it.
Also, there is no way Trump is going to win. In fact, I disagree with the polls that are saying it's a tight race. I think Harris will win by a landslide, friend. I've always thought that, and I've always said that.
So now, not only am I not trying to get Trump elected, I don't think there's any chance he will get elected.
Plus, I don't think there is anything wrong with having some opposing viewpoints in this community so that voters can decide for themselves who they want to vote for. Thank you! :)
Okay, so you really are like those news organizations giving the air time to climate deniers. "Just airing the opposing view," even though that view is bullshit and destructive.
Got it, thanks for the clarification.
Destructive in YOUR point of view. You do realize that almost half the voting public actually likes him, right? So not everyone thinks he's destructive.
I get it. You don't like him. And that's fine. Others do. And that's fine too.
Just realize that not everyone shares your opinion. Welcome to Democracy. Thanks, friend! :)
And you realize that a hunk of his popularity is because of blatant, I mean extremely blatant, propaganda, right? You have outlets like Fox refusing to run anything negative and continuing to air verifiably false information, and they aren't the worst offender, just the most popular.
You could have said the exact same stuff about the climate deniers. Almost half of people believed them, so they couldn't be wrong. It's just an opinion that they're harmful. There's nothing illegal about airing their nonsense.
Again, you do you, but let's be up front about what you're about here.
What is it you think I am "about" here?
I think you have an agenda to push Trump - no clue what your motives are.
But I didn't vote for him. I've already told you that he has no chance of winning. So why in the world would I have an agenda? Could it be that I just post articles that I find interesting?
People say a lot of things. I can't begin to grasp your motives.
Well, you're free to believe what you want to believe. Thank you! :)
No, the fact that so many people like a dangerous fascist and wanna-be dictator is not "fine, too".
Ok, so have you told the half of the country that doesn't agree with you, that?
I'm not afraid of Trump.
I will tell them, gun in hand, when they knock on my door, while "just following orders".
