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
The ballot step IS violence. It is funding apartheid in Palestine, border walls, domestic terrorism, police violence, Latin American coup, poverty and the list goes on.
We never stop pushing for change or we lose. Change doesn't have a state sanctioned season. Change starts in the street before it shows on the ballot.
Violence is not the only actions, marching in protests, stopping unlawful evictions, feeding the houseless, arming people with knowledge, prisoner support, mutual aid and support for grassroots efforts all foster material change. Direct action is the only thing that will stop fascism. That includes cutting off family but also leaving the fucking table or kicking em out of the house when they come to eat. Boss is a Nazi? Quit your job and tell everyone why. Ask for support when you need it. Remember if there are three people sitting at a table with 7 Nazis there are 10 Nazis at the table. When they start rounding people up are you going to shrug and say at least I voted for the other guy??
Lots of words to explain away bad decision making. Our system is broken because we have a Nazi party and a conservative party. If not voting gives more power to the Nazis, then you voted for them. I'll vote conservative(Dems) and be happy I'm not helping the Nazis. Absolutism only helps Nazis rise to power.
Edit: you are making assumptions about how my thanksgiving happens.
Yeah you have no clue. Good luck with the bullying
You too.
