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!

I disagree. The Southern states were in the minority in the federal government and they revolted because they wanted the feds to force the Northern majority to treat Black people as escaped slaves and send them to the South.
This time the Republicans have control of all branches...
What are they going to do? Kick blue states out of America and start a war if they refuse?
And the elections were cancelled in states that had seceded, the states run their own elections, so they choose not to have one while actively at war with the federal government....
Like, I don't see at all how this is relevant past an incredibly superficial level like you say it is
You're not speaking to the macro level events that lead to the civil war, just the specifics. Also you were the one who brought up the American Civil War.
You're ignoring my larger points of the possibility of potemkin elections or Trump getting a third term.
You don't seem to be arguing in good faith as you're not addressing the thrust of my argument. Which is, Trump is likely to interfere with upcoming elections.
My point of bringing up the civil war was saying shits obviously been a lot worse.
If I didn't address your points, then I apologize and have no idea what point you're trying to make.
That happens sometimes.
You can choose to try and elaborate and see if you can clarify...
Or wildly accuse people
Because they couldn't understand what you're trying to communicate.
I don't see what's hard to understand about that. Stop getting hung up on who's fault a misunderstanding is, and either try to clarify or just accept it's not working on move on.
Why do you want to start throwing out insults because there's a misunderstanding?
At this point that's all I'm trying to understand, because it keeps happening. And I don't think it's a coincidence it started happening after the new owners of CNN said Faux News was their inspiration and they wanted to make their viewers more like Faux's.
Ever since people seem more eager to turn misunderstandings from a discussion to a slap fight.
I have no interest in that.
At no point have I insulted you and it's strange that you are now so defensive and also accuse me of making this into a "slap fight".
Not to be dismissive but you have a comment history of being aggressively contrarian and I have no further interest in your viewpoint as it's not productive.
