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!

One, two, three. It's pretty well documented at this point.
Er... what?
I know you're just throwing disagreements at me which is a game that can continue more or less forever; I'm pretty much done with the conversation at this point. But yes, the DNC doesn't accept money on any large scale from the Russians. What would be the point of the Russians funding the party that's running against the party that they have corrupted to serve their geopolitical ends?
A lot of things do work that way (AIPAC among them), but the Democrats are not trying to destroy America and advance Russia's interests abroad, and don't seem likely to start doing that anytime soon, so I would be surprised if there's any large-scale effort by the Russians to fund the DNC. Do you know of one?
Okay, sure. In reality Trump wants to finish the job in Gaza, is furious (along with his cohort in congress) at even the laughable level of resistance Biden has given to the genocide so far, and wants to have have the military seize voting machines and run the elections in the future, shoot protestors including ones for justice in Palestine with live ammunition, and fire anyone anywhere in the government who's not loyal to him (i.e. might give resistance to any of that as they did during his last term).
Will that lead to:
You don't have to answer; I do not plan to continue this interaction, I don't think. The game that can go on forever of you just saying crazy counterfactual shit with this condescending tone as if I'm the wrong one. I just wanted to debunk a little more of the crazy shit before I continue on with my day.
Yes we see Vladimir Putin bribing people under the table here.
Putin is not organizing "Russia PAC" conventions where both Democrats and Republicans are speaking proudly about how hard they are going to Genocide Palesitnians.
You don't have Russians posting this on Twitter
We are not inviting Vladimir Putin in Congress to speak about how he needs more 2000 pound bombs to blow up schools with.
You know why? Because that's illegal
I’m gonna just relax in the middle of the field, and observe the goalposts whizzing around. Look at them go! But I don’t have to run after them any more. I just had that epiphany.
I’m free.
(You also didn’t answer my 1 vs 2 question, because… as Hunter Thompson said, to ask the question is to answer the question. It is ok; I am done)
Your questions have all been answered. You just don't want to hear the answer because it destroys your world view.
Oww oof my world view
"Voting does something but israel simultaneously controls all of America so the Genocide can't be stopped"
lmao.
