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!

Maybe you should refer to the fact that maybe it’s the sources you are sourcing your information from and not the parties? Makes me think you are unaware that some media are bias and it’s good to check where a sources leans in terms of political views. This is also typically evident by how they frame a situation. In this case the republicans are the ones that pushed that messaging that was then perpetuated by the news.
Maybe this one got by me but I knew about the document scandal as it unfolded, ethnic cleansing in Gaza, Russian talking points from Gabbard, the letter from Hegseths mom, Kash Patels strange kids books, and Elon effectively deregulating any sector that he's involved in. This is the first time I've heard anything but, "Astronauts are stuck in space."
Yeah understandable, alot of stuff happening and it’s easy to miss a single thing. Unfortunately the volume of stuff that is happening can make it hard to keep track of everything which is also why it’s hard to combat it. This sheer volume and the time needed these days to process and even just fact check is I think a huge problem why people are either ignorant or just misinformed. They don’t have the time and just settle with the narrative in front of them… even if that narrative is incorrect.
