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!

TANKIE DETECTED
They want the "Democrat Party" to go to trial for (not sure for what exactly), so this could also be some MAGA idiot trying to sound smart, while telling us not to vote for Kamala.
I don't hear Tankies say "Democrat Party" all that much, that's a pretty solid right-wing-ism.
Could be "Horseshoe Theory", I guess, but lately I feel like we need to cut through the bullshit and recognize that every single person telling us not to vote for Kamala is perfectly fine with another Trump term, and that's enough for me to call someone a fascist.
Tankies usually say dumb shit like "Blue MAGA" which is absolutely hilarious. Really makes it easy to tell when someone has no clue about what they're talking about.
Oh 100%
Could also be they are low-info that relied on solely wingnut sources and then they turned 14. Would explain the "Democrat Party" thing. The right wing has been doing this intentionally for decades. For the "unity" they keep talking about, of course. They do this almost universally, from top to bottom.
Imagine if nearly every single Democrat - from the President on down, called the Republican Party something that is not their name, intentionally, only to irritate the right.
And these people dare to call the Obama administration and the Biden administration divisive! It's just more of their DARVO.
Or maybe its a case like Joe Rogan and Assmongold who say they're left-wing while extolling far-right narratives and conspiracy theories (and sometimes outright anti-scientific folly like 1×1=2), basically using it as a manipulative talking point to mislead their millions of followers (the vast majority of whom just happen to be white men with proto-fascist views of the world)
Either way, when I see it, I realize that they have lost the plot and aren't arguing in good faith.
