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!

DEI and “woke culture” made me feel seen as a person with a disability and a facial paralysis. 100 years ago I would have been an orphan and hidden away. Not long before that I would have been “sacrificed” as an evil baby.
Did corporations cash in on that? Yes they did because that’s all corporations are supposed to do is make money and bleed the consumer.
If you are anti-woke and anti-DEI then you’re really saying you want to include everyone who looks like you and relegate those who don’t to obscurity either by way of deportation, exile, slavery, or death. It’s exactly like what every country perpetuating genocide has done in history.
What is your solution to my problem of again not feeling like I can go out in public because of this administration’s policies. What about to the LGBTQIA people who are afraid that their marriage will be nulled or are also afraid to go out in public?
Are you ok with fixing people different from you back to isolation, declining mental health, and attempts to take their life because of getting rid of DEI?
I live my life, look out for my neighbors, don't litter, and don't talk to cops. You're all naive enough to think your opinion holds value 20 feet outside your radius.
