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!

MODERATORS
Thanks for being interested enough in me to worry about my "history." I don't have to prove anything to you. I disagree with you. You disagree with me. And that's ok.
If you believe any part of the article is inaccurate, I encourage you to reach out to the news organization that published it. If you think the article doesn't align with the community guidelines, feel free to contact the moderators. Thank you!
'Interested' is not the word I would use. We've had a couple conversations (I'm not fooled by the name change) where you systematically refuse to integrate information that contradicts your world view and follow up with nonsense copypasta as if that somehow absolves you of any obligation to improve.
The issue isn't the news organization. It's you refusing to concede she parrots Russian rhetoric and takes their side with the Ukraine conflict despite conceding it is an illegal war. Her tap dancing around it to not openly admit she is Putin's plant is your ONLY response. You do not provide any rebuttal other than "I am not convinced". "Reach out to the news organization"? Are they going to find where you live, bury you in a pile of Stein quotes of her spouting russian talking points while playing a video of RT broadcasting the same thing until you finally admit "OMG EVIDENCE MATTERS"? No? Then why bother?
So spare me your BS copypasta deflecting any responsibility and actually contribute something of value to the conversation. Can you find a contradictory quote from Stein where she declares the 'peace plan' she intends for Ukraine listed in her platform commits to pre-2014 Ukraine borders? If you can't, then admit she is anti-Ukraine/pro-Russian and stop defending her with vapour.
What do you mean? The name change isn't for "fooling" anyone. When I update my "display name" the names get updated to all my past posts. So there is not "fooling" anyone.
And I have the same username, I haven't changed my username, so not sure what you mean by not being fooled by a name change. My entire post and comment history is public.
OR maybe I just haven't changed my mind or my opinion.
You haven't changed your opinion about voting for harris. Does that mean you "you systematically refuse to integrate information that contradicts your world view"?
Exactly. She's never said it. I don't belive she is. Let it go. You have your opinion, I have mine. I respect your opinion. Respect mine.
I am under no obligation to provide any rebuttal or prove anything to you. I gave you my opinion. Accept it or not. Not my problem.
Also, I'm not even voting for Jill Stein, so calm down.
It does not matter who you claim you are or are not voting for. You defend her. With nothing but blind stubbornness. Still haven't rebutted the fact she has pro-Russian stances. Just more head in the sand.
I don't have to prove anything to you. I told you my opinion. You can accept or not. I don't care.
If you believe any part of the article is inaccurate, I encourage you to reach out to the news organization that published it. If you think the article doesn't align with the community guidelines, feel free to contact the moderators--they have removed articles that don't fit in the community. Thank you!
