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!

When you're white, your boss doesn't mind you taking off work for 10 minutes to vote. When you're a minority, your boss probably has a problem with you taking off 4 hours to go vote.
And I'm not saying anything bad about minorities, I'm only pointing out how politicians make it very difficult for minorities to vote. You always hear about the polling location at the black side of town gets moved downtown where they have to pay to park, or even find a way to get down there, and then there's only 1 machine for an entire voting precinct to share.
I have a lot of black friends and it's hard to look them in the face with how badly they still get treated. In 2023! When I was a kid you'd sometimes hear somebody say something racist, but most Americans have no problem with race. We are warm, friendly people and we love and respect our neighbors. But holy crap, some people just can't let go of their "racial pride." No, the Jews aren't going to replace you, because they aren't trying to. Your religion isn't under attack. Nobody is committing a white genocide. How is this so hard to understand? Stop hating people for no reason. If you allow that hate to fester, next you're making up ridiculous false stories to back up your claims. Learn to live with people who are different than you. And live to learn from those people.
