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!

Ew fuck them
I don’t think you should be downvoted for your genuine ignorance to the situation. But now that you have been educated to the reality you should really work harder to educate yourself as to the mechanisms of propaganda that have embedded themselves in the institutions we have been conditioned to believe are the representatives of journalistic integrity which supposedly stand to speak truth to power as we enter into an obvious age of technocratic fascism masquerading as (neo)liberal democracy. A sham form of democracy has never been democratic since liberal democracy fights tooth and nail against economic democracy making it a de-facto class dictatorship nothing more, nothing less.
Yeah I know now.. thanks for that ...based on the community feedback though from others, .I think I'm going to filter this group. Nothing against you at all but I'm not going to engage with toxicity.
People are really tired with status quo and I understand why. But unfortunately we’ve had a class war waged against us for the last 54 years maybe even a little longer snd now many people don’t have the ability to understand how we got to where we are.all that matters is we are now here at a point of full fledged fascism and we need to mobilize and get ready for a civil war. Those in control of the current administration have said the revolution will be bloodless if the left allows it. The left that ass clown was talking about isn’t even the real left. The dem party is a neo liberal right leaning center controled opposition party and that’s a large part of the problem. True leftism has been eradicated from the discussion for the last 54 years and what we have told is left is actually feckless limp dicked conservatism masquerading as leftism fo maintain the class dictatorship at all costs. It is high time for accelerationism. Most social media outlets are completely censored and controlled. Now is the time to stand up, buy a gun, make some bug out kits/ plans, organize and prepare for the worst. It isn’t going to get better that is for sure.
