- Articles must be relevant to US politics and contain quality and original content. Social Media adjacent hosts like Substack are allowed, but ONLY if they tie back to a company/subsidiary. No personal or friend group blogs and no self-promotion. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and re-hosted 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 other users of being bots or paid actors.
- No memes, trolling, misinformation, or low-effort posts/comments (including reposts). If you see posts like this that anger you, do not engage. Report, block, and live a happier life than they do. Any slap-fight is subject to comment removals. Fights full of rule violations will result in temporary bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules and use critical thinking when reading, posting, and commenting. Users that repeatedly have 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. The reason(s) behind moderator action(s) are publicly available through the Modlog.

We'd prefer you would leave, since you're part of the problem with our country.
You don't even know what the problems are. But nah, I would rather the citizens be united against the government and not against each other. Born here, raised here, served here. However, may I say fuck Bush Jr?
You may hate Trump, but I don't hate my fellow citizens. I actually respect your opinions.
I do not need you to respect my opinions.
I need you to respect our fellow citizens by not making deriding comments for them to leave like you did.
Respect is earned. What have you done for the country? Do you hate the country or do you just hate the president?
Sitting on the couch and hating people that they've never met through social media does not get to make demands lol
You want to take this country for granted just because you hate the president? Go ahead. You want me to respect you through this app because you demand it? Nope.
I'm not the one calling people names. I told that person to leave voluntarily if they hate the country that much.
"Respect is earned" is the most boomer take ever.
No.
Respecting others is the default. Respecting others is the bare minimum expected from you.
Start by acknowledging that.
