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!

Just to clarify, I was not referring to anybody as a Nazi, I simply noted, that the method of blocking votes and using "the system" against itself is not new. And when the methods someone uses have been deployed by the literal original nazis, then I find this noteworthy.
I agree in general. The term is used as a strong word to clarify someone's stand point, but besides cheers from within the own bubble and resistance from. The other bubble, nothing happens. The bubbles won't be dissolved that way. I the end, I think, globally, there is no fight "left VS right" but democrats VS autocrats (not referring to the democratic party here) , and whoever values liberty should stand together against autocrats independently of the party someone prefers.
It's fine to call the GOP Nazis since they're reading the same playbook and sitting at the same table as them
I disagree, not because I think they have an agenda which may or may not yield similar results, but because the majority of Republicans aren't Nazis. They do not want to extend the "Lebensraum" for Germans, they blame and marginalized different minorities and they are not running around in Nazi uniforms (again, the majority). That doesn't make them in principle any better, but Nazis were as a matter of fact in Europe...
There have been plenty of autocracies before, during and after Nazi Germany, Nazis were simply the term that stuck. Call them by what they really are: autocrats. They are unable to deny this. If you call them Nazi, the counter argument is obvious: we can't be Nazis, because we. Didn't kill millions of people in concentration camps(yet). Calling anybody a Nazi does not fulfill any purpose besides getting applause from people in the same bubble as you're already in. That's my point. Feel free to disagree.
