2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious right or left wing sources will be removed at the mods discretion.

This makes me incredibly sad. We can't have shit in this country due to pathetic and incompetent governance. What's worse is that it will take a generation of time for us to dig out of this hole even if we start moving 100% in the right direction, today. It makes me sick.
You're being way too charitable about that. The problem isn't incompetence; it's active and deliberate malice.
Brought to you by the people who invented 'slavery.' Slavery, for when you don't want to do it yourself and youre a soulless husk of a person.
What do you think would solve it?
Taking our heads out of the sand is a start. I would go into more detail but I checked your profile and I don’t think I’ll convince you of anything so we will just leave it here. Not in the mood for an argument over the same shit that keeps happening in this country.
This is the right answer my friend. Don't feed the trolls
It's sad that you think you can't discuss anything because of your prejudice against what you imagine the other person is like. Just be brave and say what you want anyway. Snooping at people's profiles is a level of investment in this whole endeavor that I've never found worthwhile, so I don't recommend it.
Not a lot to gain by arguing with the dog that shits on your lawn.
Womp womp person with shitty comment history makes shitty comments and says "checking profile history is prejudice, very bad."
Next.
No, you failed to comprehend what I wrote actually. The point was that I don't give a fuck what you or anybody's comment history has in it. You can look at mine all day long and I don't give a fuck either. The point being, that only lame nerds waste their time doing that.
I'm proud of my comments, please read and examine every one of them if you want. I personally choose not to waste my time on that lame bullshit though because I'm a cool dude with better things to do.
Famously said by cool people, right? Womp womp, the sequel.
Yep, by cool people who don't give a fuck about what you or anybody thinks. I'm living my best life out here, how about you?
Nothing the elite that run the coutnry want us to do. They want us poor, uneducated, uncoordinated, scared, and fighting with each other.
