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!

I'll show you my receipts. For what I admitted is my personal fun theory of conspiracy but since you're saying the whole both sides thing,. here's a .gov site that details some of the aspects of interference I believe happened.
I'd love to see your receipts for how or when it happens with democrats? Or did you mean average civilians committing it?
And then silence...
Ah no, full time job, 12+ hr shifts. Not many poop breaks to chat on.
I'm not saying "the whole both sides thing" the way you are obviously reading that. I'm saying that if you look into individual convictions, you will find people on both sides. And I don't have a source, I'm a ding dong at work. I'm only parroting something I read once a while ago. I'd be happy to abandon this hill. I had no idea I was throwing a gauntlet. I thought I was participating in a conversation.
And thanks for the link, I'll check it out.
Fact-check before you comment, next time. The internet is filled with uninformed opinions already, don't add to the noise.
I guess I'm confused. Firstly, I don't understand why you're so adversarial. Did I say something offensive? I was trying to be helpful in supporting your theory. Maybe you could find a pattern out of what we already can confirm, who knows? Second, I didn't dispute anything you said, and I didn't make any claims that a tertiary search can't at least be relatively consistent with. If you search election fraud convictions there are several articles reporting on just that. Heritage has a report out covering the last 20 years. So what did I say that was so erroneous that you think I should have "fact-checked"?
You are confused I think you thought the person you replied to was me lol. That said they have a good point of we should all try to fact check stuff before repeating stuff we heard just to make sure we aren't contributing to misinformation. (Not at you just generally good advice)
Look man I do apologize because I was not as clear as I should have been and I think that came across a lot more judgemental than the playful tone I was aiming for. I meant since you mentioned both sides when I was only discussing one specific election with foreign government interference I was showing a link to what I meant and like, idk maybe you actually had something or I misunderstood you.
I noticed a lot more antagonizing comments on posts lately though, like everyone is trying to totally pwn someone, so I can understand how some of us may be quicker to expect that motivation. Hope you have a good day
