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!

So much this. And it’s precisely how you can tell he’s a troll despite the /c/politics mod’s refusal to acknowledge it.
And this poster's response to this was as predictable as the sun rising in the east, setting in the west, water rolling downhill, and Russell Wilson sitting on the bench for a different team while we pay for him. 🤣
You called this poster out properly, and the mods refusal to let us call a spade a spade here. Readers, I invite you to read the definition of a troll from Merriam-Webster: to antagonize (others) online by deliberately posting inflammatory, irrelevant, or offensive comments or other disruptive content. The poster that constantly changes its name over and over again repeats it'll keep posting its content despite being soundly rejected over and over again, just so it can piss us off. I'm not asking for it to be removed, though I sure won't turn down such an outcome. But can we at least call a spade a spade where this poster is concerned?
I don't post to piss you off though. You just get pissed off. Big difference.
And yes, I will continue to post what I want, when I want, as this is a public forum. You are free to have your political views, and I am free to have mine.
Thanks for the kind words and I support your right to think whatever you want of me.
The reason the mods refuse "to acknowledge it" is because I'm not a troll. Just because you don't agree with and you don't like what I'm saying, doesn't make me a troll.
This community is about diverse political thought. It wasn't created to be an echo chamber in favor of one party.
Thank you!
Once again you intentionally miss the point. It’s your core competency.
I quoted your words, friend.
And?
And I didn't miss the point at all. I told you that the mods don't think I'm a troll, regardless of how much you disagree with my political opinions.
They have removed plenty of my comments when they think I have gone too far. There is no favoritism shown towards me, nor would I ask for any.
Ok? That’s what I said before you even joined the conversation. So did you think you were adding anything of value here?
So then you don't think I'm a troll?
You have a serious reading comprehension problem. It scares me that your paraeducator for kids.
Scared or not, doesn't change the facts. Thank you for your support!
Public forum. I am allowed to give my input. And I did, friend. Thanks!
As JSPA, I can say I'm not thrilled with your attitude on this forum.
And that doesn't bother me at all. Thank you!
In the 50 days that you've been on here, you've made 4000 submissions. An average of 1 every 18 minutes, non-stop, 24 hours a day. Your granpa is probably looking up from hell with disappointment.
And you created your account today. And the only comments on it are to me. lmao
Well I've been busy campaigning and I think that's what you'd rather I be doing. but one of my campaign aids mentioned you were casting a bitter pall on our efforts so I thought I share some advice.
Jill Stein has aids?
Do you think she does?
The presidential candidates with a chance all have aids so I’m guessing she does too.
Cool.
