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!

Friend, you can go through every single back issue of that magazine trying to prove some point, but I am literally reading the "Malcom X, Black LIberation, and the Road to Workers Power"

First, we are not friends. We are not brothers. We are not comrades. So you can stop with the usual bs in your replies.

And really - pulling the literary equivalent of “I have a black friend” defense? You are just so precious!

You hated me for voting for Jill Stein. Now you'll hate me for voting Socialist. I have a feeling, nothing is gonna change your mind.

Wow, such an ego! Not very socialist of you though. I don’t hate you. I don’t even think about you other than when your sad little antics pop up in my feed like a turd in the pool. You amused me for a time, but now you’re just boring. I only bother to reply when you spout such obvious bs that it needs to be called out…and when I have nothing better to do. Just my bad luck today to run into you again.

Glad you found such a morally good fit to support with your vote! I guess it’s true what they say, there really is someone out there for everyone.
