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!

It is the center of the American presidential election, dumbass.
I dunno how else to explain it, bub. America is in the world, so I use the world's political scale.
Why the fuck would you do that? It's not a global political contest. It's one internal to the United States.
Either I'm not understanding the question, or you've got some weird ideas about politics. America does not exist outside the context of the world, why the fuck wouldn't I consider the full range of politics when evaluating an internal contest?
This topic is specifically about American politics.
You're talking about the America on Earth, right?
Just stop.
I think you have a hate boner for America and you just go around trying to pick fights on topics that have NOTHING TO FUCKING DO WITH THIS so you can scream about how goddamn cool you are for hating America.
We get it. You're not like the other kids. You're so cool and edgy and countercultural. Now sit the fuck down and quit embarrassing yourself.
The only person embarassing themselves here is the one getting bent out of shape to the point of capslock-shouting at some rando on the internet who doesn't agree with them.
You could have said nothing or just blocked me and gone on with your life, but you need people like me to support your candidate or else, so you take personal offense to the entirely-uncontroversial opinion that the Democrats are only "Left" when the window of acceptable politics is constrained to them and the Republicans.
Blah blah
No, no. Lets be extremely clear here.
You think America is exceptional among countries on Earth for some reason, right? It's special so it gets to have its own special definitions for common political terms, right?
Elaborate on that for me, if you would.
