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!

The vaccine has never claimed to ever stop you from getting the virus. It has always said to mitigate the damage to prevent death.
That makes him correct like saying a car is driving safe because it doesn't get in to an accident. That isn't the "truth". It's a statement that doesn't illustrate the safety of the driver. They could be having close calls or running red lights and it's 3am.
Rogan does not understand basic science and the principles of the guests he has on. He is a tin foil hat wearing funny guy, who leads anyone interested in tin foil hats and pokes the bear for entertainment. Is it funny? Hell yea. I used to love the entertainment part of Rogan. But he has overplayed his hand and now he has gone political.
He has done this because he's bought or stupid. I don't really care which one it is. His last standup was shit. He gets to make money stirring the pot amongst gym bros that think they are being intellectual and avoiding all the bullshit. A broken clock is still right twice a day.
What upsets me about you specifically is you are undermining the millions of people around the globe that actually have degrees in science and medicine. They have done the leg work. They did the actual research. And you see some shocking things on the Internet and think you found the golden bullet of truth rather than the actual truth.
Nature don't give a fuck what we think. It's out to eat us. In every single way. Rogan doesn't know COVID better than an actual COVID researcher. There are millions throughout many countries. You sound unhinged and unresponsive of criticism. You're wrong. Rogan was not right. He was lucky.
There’s literally video of Biden addressing the nation saying if you got the vaccine you would NOT. GET. COVID, nor get sick, or die. Would you like 20 or 30 links to that? Let me know because about 1000 news outsets reported on it.
I’m not anti-Biden or anti-vaccine, but he was wrong to say that, period, and Rogan called him out on it, which Rogan got slammed for, which he turned out to be absolutely right about.
It’s fools like you who blatantly, blindly pick a side with no nuance or care for any discussion. You’re like a MAGA mirror opposite.
That's one person. Any smart person would know there are many people that have knowledge. Relying on one source is close minded. You should explore other habits.
Like listening to your mechanic when your car is about to break. Or the plumber when the pipe is broken. But when it comes to medicine, "I know better because the comedian on the Internet told me I wouldn't get it."
I’m triple-vaxxed with two degrees and one in science.
Unfortunately, your capacity to understand what I’m talking about has hit its limit, and it’s not even close to where I need it to be to keep me interested.
Good. I don't think you have the mental capacity to handle a tricycle.
