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!

Yet another thing Murikkkans won’t do anything about.
🤡
Genuinely honest reaction from an American- we have reached peak pointlessness.
The American public (in general, on average) is so stupid and ill-informed, staring only at their preferred echo chamber that the majority would rather mobilize against different opinions than have a conversation.
We could self immolate in the streets and it would make absolutely no difference. Opposition would celebrate it. Any method to resist or make change has been well and truly vaporized. Publicly stating our opinion or even stating objective fact is now pointless, as it will be instantly gaslit.
Not a single protest or demostration I've attended has made ANY difference at all.
Even right this second, I can hear the sound of Fox News in the office beside mine.
Even in my small suburban town lifted trucks STILL fly a Trump flag and scream and shout out the window at bumper stickers they don't like.
I can't say that's the perspective other Americans have, but I can tell you that's my perspective. The proverbial "ship is sinking", the hull has cracked wide open, and all I can do is plan what cardinal direction to "swim" in assuming I survive the capsize, which I almost certainly will not.
