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!

I grew up in poverty, I'm biracial, bisexual, poor, uneducated, and my job in public elementary school pays shit--a school by the way, where I deal directly with kids who's school lunches (and breakfasts!) are an issue.
Oh yeah, plus I'm fucking old and face age-discrimination every day.
Yeah, friend, all this privilege is awesome! Funny tho, I thought privilege would be way more awesome. :/
Did you just list 70% of the issues the Harris campaign wants to get sorted as your own issues, and you still don't think there's anything in it for you if they win?
Gotta be a troll. I can't believe anyone acting against their own interests in such a stark way.
I happily voted for my Socialist candidate. Thank you! :)
Yeah I've heard of their program before :
-All citizens of the state shall be equal as regards rights and obligations.
-The first obligation of every citizen must be to productively work mentally or physically. The activity of individual may not clash with the interests of the whole, but must proceed within the framework of the whole for the benefit for the general good. We demand therefore:
-Abolition of unearned (work and labour) incomes. Breaking of debt (interest)-slavery.
-In consideration of the monstrous sacrifice of life and property that each war demands of the people, personal enrichment due to a war must be regarded as a crime against the nation. Therefore, we demand ruthless confiscation of all war profits.
-We demand nationalization of all businesses which have been up to the present formed into companies (trusts).
-We demand that the profits from wholesale trade shall be shared out.
-We demand an expansion on a large scale of old age welfare.
-We demand the creation of a healthy middle class and its conservation, immediate communalization of the great warehouses and their being leased at low cost to small firms, the utmost consideration of all small firms in contracts with the State, county or municipality.
-We demand a land reform suitable to our needs, provision of a law for the free expropriation of land for the purposes of public utility, abolition of land rent and prevention of all speculation in land.
-We demand struggle without consideration against those whose activity is injurious to the general interest. Common national criminals, usurers, profiteers and so forth are to be punished with death, without consideration of confession or race.
-We demand substitution of a German common law in place of the Roman Law serving a materialistic world-order.
-The state is to be responsible for a fundamental reconstruction of our whole national education program, to enable every capable and industrious German to obtain higher education and subsequently introduction into leading positions. The plans of instruction of all educational institutions are to conform with the experiences of practical life. The comprehension of the concept of the state must be striven for by the school [Staatsbürgerkunde] as early as the beginning of understanding. We demand the education at the expense of the state of outstanding intellectually gifted children of poor parents without consideration of position or profession.
Might be true but very "as a black man" vibes. Especially with your post history being pro Trump (who hates bis, non whites, poor people etc).
Guess this will get moderated soon because you only know hate and violence.
I'm not pro-Trump and I've already voted. And I didn't vote for him. Thank you! :)
There are only two options based on this statement and calling them out will violate community rules.
Sorry, I know it and everyone else on this platform knows you're making this up.
If you did vote third party in this election you actively voted for the party that is legislating (and has already succeeded in some states) to remove school lunches. We know you know this.
Now fuck right off with your lies.
So which part are you saying I'm lying about though?
You're clearly intentionally lying. Everyone knows it. You claim to be a socialist for the people then post literally thousands of times in effort to get trump elected. And yes we've all heard the empty line about how you didn't vote for Trump. No one needs to explain spoiler candidates to you, you understand the concept.
How often you post would likely concern any psychologist, let alone the manipulative dishonest content of said posts.
About what?
Your profile says "transracial". Did you forget you were on a trolling account?
I didn't put biracial in my profile, BECAUSE I put transracial there. Do you honestly think I'd forget if I were biracial?! Think about that a sec...
And I'm not a troll. Thank you! :)
Were you assigned biracial at birth?
They're just mad that your religion allows you the ability to hate and love Christ at once. Keep fighting democracy, brother!!
