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!

I still can't get over the Supreme Court declaring that the U.S. effectively has a king.
While simultaneously defining themselves as the arbiters of that kingship, no less.
Shocked that there isn't a smoking crater where each of their houses used to be.
Imagine if the US was the only country with a constitution with a clause specifically for this kind of situation
We should see if the Ukrainians have a spare handful of those new cruise missile drones available to visit the residences of the Tribunal of Six.
For real though, if those fucksticks actually try to ignore electoral results and hand the election to Trump, I genuinely do not see the situation getting resolved without a very significant level of political violence - perhaps even ultimately devolving into open civil war. Seriously, look at what Ken Paxton is doing in Texas only days ago. That is some authoritarian police state shit.
All rights are won through violence.
Except for the many times they weren't
name one.
Easy. Women got the right to vote in America from non violent protests.
However violence was inacted against them. They won those rights as a reaction to the brutilization they suffered in their fight.

So the argument is that violence is good... because the bad guys once used it and lost because they did... ? wtffff
No. The argument is that all rights are won through violence. The violence may just be against the people wanting rights
... so it's still good violence, then?
So you're saying america wasnt founded on violence?
BTW, you're also wrong -- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suffragette_bombing_and_arson_campaign

ALL RIGHTS ARE WON THROUGH VIOLENCE
This makes you sound bloodthirsty. Good luck with that.
Just hungry for the flesh of some politicians and billionaires, with a stretch goal of having a livable environment to retire in someday...
Cannibalism isn't cool. Neither is murder.
Uh no and you know I said nothing like that and it has nothing to do with my point in the slightest.
Also your links do not prove that the violence was necessary. It was not.
Every horrible violent piece of human filth has believed what you're selling here. I find it horribly disgusting how many people think that violence is an answer. Keep your sewer thoughts to yourself.
Biden should really be taking advantage of that ruling and doing whatever the fuck he wants
