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!

Hmmm, as of right now, your comment is negative. Strange how things turn out sometimes.
But of course that wouldn't stop you, right? Just like it won't stop me.
Why would it? Downvotes aren't really important.
I just post the links to articles, I don't write them, so downvotes don't affect my life at all. Nor should they affect yours. Thank you!
It really is strange that all of my recent (meaning, last hour or less) comments to you would go negative right after I brought it up, including in a chain of comments that goes 15 deep. It's almost like someone lost an argument, got butthurt, signed into an alt account and downvoted the other person. I wonder who would do something like that.. could it be the same person who I called out for doing this same exact thing in the past, where they downvoted my comments far below where most people would care to interact?
Nonetheless, if I have to take 2 downvotes here and there, it's fine, because it will never reach your 50,000, alt accounts or not.
Well, I don't have any alt accounts and I haven't signed out, so I don't know.
But like I said, downvotes don't matter to me. Don't let them get to you either. Thank you! :)
Uh huh, I totally believe someone that posts propaganda day-in and day-out only has one account. Surely a propagandist vote manipulator would never make it as obvious to downvote someone's deeply nested comments into the negative minutes after that same someone pointed out the huge, unbelievable amount of downvotes the propanda poster had, because that would be quite the coincidence. They would never be that stupid, right?!
I'll be fine, true, because I will never be able to match your 50,000 downvotes even if I tried as hard as I could. It's a feat to be so universally disliked.
You believe me. Yay! Thank you! :)
Nah, just kidding. I fully believe that's exactly what you just did, and that you tried to gaslight me over it. Sorry, I know comprehension isn't your strong suit, I shouldn't joke with you like that.
