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!

You mean the guy that claimed that trying to stop the spread of a respiratory virus was a greater affront to liberty than the literal genocide of Jews in Nazi Germany? The guy whose own family called him out for attacking the CDC and Anthony Fauci despite the science clearly showing that the COVID vaccines were MUCH better for you than catching the damn virus those vaccines were meant to stop? That guy?
Or the guy who spoke at a Moms for Liberty group, basically giving that very Conservative and extremist group a platform? Or the guy who agrees with conservatives that the government is being 'weaponised' against them?
The guy who plans on abandoning former members of the Warsaw Pact to Russia's tender mercies, on the promise that Russia will leave Ukraine when we stop sending arms to them? On the silly notion that UN Peacekeepers will somehow bring Russia to heel? When has the UN ever managed to accomplish ANYTHING, let alone stand up to a former Great Power?
Or the guy who thinks that the riot at the capital was 'just a protest' and that there needs to be a 'special counsel' to 'determine whether their convictions are appropriate (pro-tip, Kennedy, I don't think they got ENOUGH punishment for what they did!)? That guy?
Or the guy who panders to Republicans by saying "I won't take your guns away," while still saying "Oh, but I believe in gun control"? THAT guy?
Oh yeah, and the guy who, in a room with 100 people who have a choice between him, Biden, and Trump, will create a 49 Trump, 48 Biden, 3 RFK Jr. and ensure that the room goes with Trump because the rule is 'the person with the most votes wins', and whose campaign has specifically said it's attempting to "Get Rid of Biden" with no mention of Trump? THAT Guy?
Yeah, I won't. And you would be cruel and stupid to do so, knowing that my example of 100 people in a room is EXACTLY how the US voting system works.
