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!

Meh, most people I know sort by "new."
But if you think downvoting keeps my articles from being seen, then that means there's no reason for you to be upset by me posting.
Because no one is going to see it, right? Thanks!
Oh, sorry, I think you're confused again; I'm here to help show the few people who do see your posts that you've got a clear agenda and pretty much only post propaganda and otherwise spam the politics community. Luckily, the downvotes show that much of the active community here is already aware, but in case they don't understand why you're getting downvoted, I want to show them why. I don't care about anything else past letting that be known.
Oh, and I like keeping track of the rotation of like 10-15 talking points you have. Keeps things interesting and entertaining.
I'm not confused at all. You're totally welcome to do that. LIke I said, I think it's great you're passionate about something, and I'm glad that I can be a part of it.
Especially since I'm going to continue posting what I find interesting. Thank you, friend! :)
Okay, as long as we're clear that I don't care about your thoughts or opinions we're good here! I'll see you on your next inflammatory propaganda post, but I'll probably wait for you to say your go-to "I don't write the [propaganda], I just post the [propaganda], take it up with the [publisher/mods] if you don't like it" lines there first.
