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!

I don't really have to. You provide all the evidence yourself
You don't have to give me a resume. Your words are all anyone needs to see.
I haven't provided you with any evidence, because this isn't a court room.
I've literally been arrested for my activism, you little turd. I don't go around announcing that because it's unnecessary and performative, like I said. And even if I do then people like you will still dismiss it and say I "haven't done the work." I've been through this song and dance before, and it's not worth my time to try to win your approval. Especially if you're only going to hold it out like a carrot on a string and then yoink it away every time I take a fall.
My entire life has been derailed, so I'll never be in a position where I can actually effect any change. This is the result of your petulant and petty campaign against every white person in the progressive space. Platner has a chance of winning office, so good on him for putting himself out there and subjecting himself to the scrutiny of being in the political spotlight.
But apparently you prefer Susan Collins, because that's what you're going to get if Platner doesn't win. If you want to impeach and convict trump, then we need to unseat as many maga loyalists in the senate as possible.
You're the exact same as those supposed "leftists" who trash Mamdani and call him a zionist, a fascist, or a corporate plant. You're making those words meaningless, which is carrying a lot of water for actual zionists, fascists, and corporatists. You're also disingenuous and incapable of arguing in good faith. No one is ever pure enough for you. You don't care about progress, you only want to inflame petty grievances. If you're not a right-wing agitator posing as a leftist, I'll eat my shoes.
Fuck off. How are those words for you?
