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!

MODERATORS
Challenge messages of hate, rather than blocking, ignoring, or dismissing them. Learn the insidious methods of covert racism and bigotry, identify them, and bring them out of the dark and into conversation. The more you learn about their methods, the more often you’ll see them in practice.
People will have no rights if they only stand up for their own.
In addition to what disguy ovahea said, vote. Vote in every election. Vote when it's inconvenient. Vote when your boss is annoyed it makes you late for work. Go to the town hall meetings and ask questions. Demand more from your local politicians.
Ok, I'll get right on that. 🚶🏼♂️
This writer proposes very little in the way of actual policies. And this subject has been covered many times over, by better writers. They seem to be very inwardly focused on their own Ashkenazi experience and only mention the latest bogeyman (bogeyperson?) of transgender people.
Read W. E. B. DuBois's book "The Souls of Black Folk". In the introduction he describes well meaning liberals who don't actually understand him like this:
they say, I know an excellent colored man in my town; or, I fought at Mechanicsville; or, Do not these Southern outrages make your blood boil? At these I smile, or am interested, or reduce the boiling to a simmer, as the occasion may require. To the real question, How does it feel to be a problem? I answer seldom a word.

Read this amazingly piece of classic literature, not some opinion piece written to fill a word count.
I'm 5 paragraphs in and already I can tell this is something really special. It flows like water.
Exactly my thought.
Ugh, an article with popups on loss of window focus. That's an immediate Ctrl+W from me.
What does ctrl W do?

Ron Howard: They won't
They caused the problem, they need to clean it up.
Especially with the tyranny of the idea of “there are only being two genders” forced down everyone’s throats.
Instead of whining about their children feeling guilt for things they didn’t do, teach the kids to do better.
