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!

If you dig deep enough you'll find some blatant racist shit in one of the conservative comms too, unless it got nuked by a mod. I don't really care enough to go digging for it either.
Edit: oh here it is
(This is blatantly false, nothing in the law states this, it was doctored up by racists to drive immigrant hate)
Do a search and they've posted like 10 other articles to the conservative comm as well.
And also prempting Mr Monk as I know what he'll say: "I only post the articles!!!1!11!". Sure buddy. Sure.
I didn't write that article though.
And it was written by the New York Post. If you have issues with the article, take it up with them.
You love this line, it's your go to NPC response. You may not have written the article, but by posting it, you are promoting it.
You'll gish gallop around that fact, I'm sure. But you constantly post inflammatory articles and then claim that it's okay because you didn't write the article. It's not okay, and you're supporting the misleading and inflammatory content by doing that (but of course, you already know that).
But I’ve posted articles that are critical of Trump, Stein, and Harris, as well as articles praising each of them.
So, if you’re assuming I agree with every viewpoint in the articles I post, how does that even work when I share so many conflicting perspectives?!
I also created and mod a political news community where people have posted articles praising Harris, criticizing Stein, and trashing me—yet I still leave those up.

So how does this work with your theory? Is everyone here who posts a news article, "promoting"?
Right on schedule! Just as predictable as a broken record player.
Idk man. I usually read the articles I post and make sure to understand them before I go spamming. And I don't post intentionally false and misleading articles to communities with the somewhat transparent optics of trying to stir up shit. If you aren't understanding what your posting, you are at best unintentionally damaging honest discourse... but I think we both know your "playing dumb" act is a farce.
Have a good weekend.
