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!

Because it is. Spades are broke. Die is cast. The toothpaste is out of the tube. Cat has flown the bag.

No faith in corrupt broken institutions. Jockeying between states about gerrymandering. Record low respect for established institutions. Politicians are all captured by corps or malicious interest groups like AIPAC or The Heritage Foundation.

The only thing holding it all together is Dollar Dominance. And that is declining by the day. Other major economies are actively out in the open building alternatives to the dollar and countries around the world are joining in. Once the dollar is sufficiently circumvented that's a wrap. That $40,000,000,000,000 debt hanging over us is gonna come due.

Those at the top know the gravy train is slowing down. It's why Trump is ripping the copper out of the walls of the economy. It's why the Blackrocks and Thiels are buying up everything and building tools of societal control. They plan to be the overlords of the aftermath of our fall. They're building that replacement now.

Open up dev-tools. (right click anywhere on the page and hit 'inspect') - click the 'sources' tab. On that tab you will notice a large pause button. Refresh the page. You'll see the full content load for a few seconds, during those seconds hit pause. Profit. If you have fiber or something and it flashes too fast, click the 'network' tab and then select a slow internet speed from the 'throttling' menu, then try again. Mostly just fluff and zero politics heads up.

Cool. So who wants to bet on where Democracy 3.0 will start happening? My bet is on one of them socialist countries.

Whatever. He's making bank from this too. Useless windbag. Put your money where your mouth is and do something positive, that's fighting back, not sitting there barking like an idiot to a bunch of sycophants on Twitch.

Who cares what Hasan Piker thinks? Get the opinion of someone that knows about politics.
