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!

Holy ever living fuck my man. Not only are you racist as shit but you are completely making shit up. Nowhere did I say we shouldn't be voting for Democrats. I've been very fucking clear that the Republicans are a million times worse and I will be sticking with Democrats.
But seriously... Please reread what you fucking said and tell me how it isn't just pure fucking racism.
Don't pretend to be dense. The criticism you are receiving has nothing to do with you criticizing biden. Most people here probably agree with you so there's nothing to say about that. It has to do with you choosing to distract from your main point by using obscure insults.
.... What
Also I need to point out that all I did was criticize a single fucking action of Biden's and you're trying to turn that into, not only questioning my loyalty to the fucking party, but also saying I'm trying to sabotage the goddamn party.
By criticizing a single fucking action of his. One. One thing I criticized and this is your reaction.
You are literally a fucking cultist. You are exactly 100% the democrat version of a red hat. Frothing in rage at anyone who dares to question a single step your god emperor makes.
Don't you dare bring up the ongoing genocide or you'll be excommunicated 🙄
So does porcelain American mean brittle and prone to fracture, or is it an exclusively white person designation, or most probably both? Genuinely asking, as it is a neologism for me
I was wondering the same thing. Its not a winning message if its the latter. I have to assume they are a bad actor if they want to hurt their own cause that bad. Its one thing to complain about what white people did and are doing. Its another to call them names. I can separate myself from the white people doing shitty things. I can't separate myself from my skin color. Insulting it doesn't help anyone.
I absolutely think leftists should hold their nose and vote dem. Insulting me doesn't change that but unfortunately it can sway some people.
Removed. "Porcelain Americans" is a clever slur for "white people", but if we allow clever slurs for one, it will be slurs all the way down.
Ain't a slur if it's only an insult on the fragile ones high on their own privilege.
I don't think you know what a slur is lol.
A perjorative, against a class of people, designed to denigrate and abuse that class? Sure I do.
Just because it's creative and new doesn't mean we should allow it because then the sub will be filled with all kinds of creative new terms for other groups.
Sure thang bawss.
