politics
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!

Well, great. How scared are you?
Scared enough to throw a punch? Break something? Get arrested?
Thought not. Do something or shut up. Op-eds are about 10 years too late.
The motherfucker helped create the MMR vaccine... I would say he did do something. If you'd like to see somebody that's not do anything at all, look in the mirror you feckless ignoramus...
I mean Jesus Christ man. I don't think I've seen a comment this lacking in intelligence in my entire life. It would be like if somebody went to Martin Luther King Jr and said "well what are you doing about it!?" after he said that he was upset at the status quo.
It's just an unbelievably ignorant and moronic statement to make.... I can't even fully wrap my head around it--how you put absolutely zero forethought into that statement before making it.
I picture you as someone who drowns in the rain because they have their mouth open while they look up. Jesus Christ.
Cool. Enjoy whatever comes your way.
And to be real? Martin Luther King Jr’s accomplishments are nearly wiped out a generation or two later by minimal effort from a handful of rich white assholes. It’s almost like doing a march isn’t sufficient to exterminate fascists.
Troglodyte. With 2 replies you've proven to be one of the most ignorant people I've ever experienced in almost 30 years online. You deserve a fuckin' award.
