Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. 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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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!

Only if you're not gonna use it to do socialisms 👍

I know you are joking, but what they use a lot of our borrowed future tax dollars for is in effect corporate socialism. Socialized losses, privatized gains.

Us workers are bag holders.

"Public losses, private gains" would be more correct.

[–] crandlecan@mander.xyz 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

But what a bag it is!! And made in the US of A!!!! Frack yeah!

[–] teyrnon@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 day ago

Unfortunately the bag is made in China. Let's hope it's defective like everything else built over there by Wall Street that has pimped out or rather Enslaved the Chinese Workforce with the ascent of the supposed Communists with Chinese characteristics that force their Factory workers to work 12 hours a day 6 days a week. Yes I know they officially outlawed that but they still forced them to work it and just pay them less. China is a capitalistic fucking hellscape don't let anybody tell you otherwise. But I digress.
