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

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.

This is the best summary I could come up with:
Members of the white nationalist group Patriot Front marched through the streets of Nashville on Saturday, carrying confederate flags and a “Reclaim America” banner while wearing masks to cover their faces.
The group participated in the 2017 “Unite the Right” rally on the University of Virginia’s campus in Charlottesville, Va., and Rousseau was charged earlier this year for burning a tiki torch with the intent “to intimidate” at that event.
That’s what this is all about,” Greg Rogers, a retired FBI agent who went undercover with militia groups, told the Deseret News of Patriot Front.
This is what we’re fighting against in America,” Tennessee Democratic Party Chair Hendrell Remus said in a statement responding to the Nashville march.
Before denying he had ever heard of the white nationalist hate group, he circulated a false report that President Biden experienced a medical emergency aboard Air Force One.
The untrue rumor was initially posted by far-right influencers — first by Laura Loomer and later by Monica Crowley and Dinesh D’Souza.
The original article contains 595 words, the summary contains 168 words. Saved 72%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
Your bot's "summary" not only sucks, it's outright misleading because the exerpts are concatenated together in a way that falsely claims Democratic Party Chair Hendrell Remus claimed to have never heard of the hate group and circulated a false report that Biden had a medical emergency.
Writing a summary means summarizing -- restating the article in your own words, more concisely -- not merely concatenating exerpts. Do better or shut the fucking bot off!
This, but more politely
This, but significantly less politely
