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!

Do you remember the 99% versus the 1% protests?
It is just a continuation, owner-class versus the working class.
What’s interesting is that I remember, supported, and know folks who participated in those protests..
None of them said what you say nor sounded as dumb as you do.
It’s weird knowing and interacting with that element while hearing you say dumb shit like this…
Like having an anarchists library on hand didn’t mean I had to deal with this level of dumb…
Thanks for your insights and your nice words.
People can be a part of something without aligning 100% with the movement, that is just being a follower, not a leader.
I question your experiences, but I will not push back on them.
I appreciate the civility. Though, I hope you eventually realize how much your own words are part of “the movement” against you.
You can worry about my “experience” all you want but at some point you should understand how little your “experience” means. Other voices have a place… consider them!
I am sharing diverse experiences, just look at my post history.
It does not align with the status quo.
“Status quo” is in your head.
“The point” on the other hand…
I understand what you are point out.
I will continue to learn and talk with those that do not agree with me and those that do.
