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!

"No no, enabling fascism will definitely cause a swing to the left this time. After Trump, our turn!"
"I'm rich and white, so Accelerationism isn't going to negatively impact ME, just those vulnerable sacrificial pawns known as minorities, poor people, the disabled, and the LGBTQ+" - Tankies
I actually got kicked out of my local Socialist Party USA chapter for pointing this out. Leader of it claimed it was because I was a "Rape Apologist" to discourage allies I had in the party from speaking to me.
The leader was a white cishet who was a higher up for a local cable company, ironically enough his workers actually went on strike under his leadership.
Eh I was thinking of leaving anyway, my proposals for "Actually do something on the municipal level to benefit the local community and win people to our side." kept getting shot down in favor of "Get everyone to vote for a nutjob third party for President, yes, that green party wacko who keeps going to bat for curing autism with crystals and transphobic dogwhistles!" and every other discussion was "China good actually!"
Honestly I had my suspicions about the guy when he disavowed Bernie for, get this, "Refusing to advocate for violence against police officers in recent campaign speech" (As if that was a realistic expectation, imagine if Bernie had done that. Guy would have left the podium in cuffs), dude was a total nutcase.
