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!

"But that isn’t how it works"
Right, the entirety of history is wrong.
From the stormers of the Bastille to Che.
Finally this guy here can tell you what is needed.
Babysteps! I mean where's the urgency? Not like some regime dudes throwing sieg heils and introducing fascism at rapid speed can go irreversably wrong right?
If only occupied Europe would've stopped eating bratwurst and apple strudel in the 40's, all that unpleasantness wouldn't have needed to happen.
And besides there are plenty of things you can try before you show no mercy and have a mass singing of cumbaya.
I'm ending this hopeless convo here and leave you to it.
I'll be sure to watch how it ends, got the nachos, dip and everything.
So what are you doing?
Are you organizing people to go out and protest or are you just being a keyboard warrior? You know that phrase put up or shut up? Why are you not out pulling people in to a long protest? If you are why are you not taking this time to get more people in your protest? If you are not then you are no better than all these people that you're bitching about.
You're right this is a conversation that is going no where you're just here to bitch and really not do anything. Later.
How's your short term memory? I've explained before.
1 European, not protesting for a country that has been nothing but a pain to the world.
2 I was just ridiculing a silly movement in a thread online, and without intention I even gave good advise (which you don't deserve).
Even then it's clear you're all hopeless and clueless.
Like I said, it's for the best that you're circling the drain, won't lose any sleep over it.
