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!

Why don't you trust entrepreneurs?
Weird, just because someone has different beliefs than you?
You should expand your social circle, it sucks having so much hate towards people because they think differently than you.
I don’t trust entrepreneurs because capitalism, in my opinion, is pure greed. Taking more than you need.
I don’t trust people who believe in God because putting your faith in an imaginary friend in the sky is the most out of touch concept ever. There is nothing out there to save you. Be good or bad, because its the way you feel, not because the cloud man will approve or disapprove.
I wouldn’t call my feelings hate, just a lack of apathy. People are free to have the same or differing opinions from my own. They don’t need to respect my beliefs and I don’t need to respect theirs.
Have you ever went to a local breakfast restaurant?
Do you take more than you need?
Most out of touch concept that almost every society in history has believed in? God takes different avenues in everyones lives, if we sat down, had some tea and discussed, I'm sure I could find where you put God in your life.
I've been saved by something out there, so I disagree. I think you knowing that nothing is out there is more absurd than someone believing there might be.
You abide by many christian morals, so what's 'good' v 'bad' is affecting by the God you hate so much.
I agree, but the difference is I don't think less of people trying to start businesses, or people with different beliefs than me.
Just to point out a lot of the morals were in place before christianity arrived.
Western society has been morally shaped overwhelmingly, for better or for worse, by Christianity of at least the last 1500 years.
Do you dispute that?
