Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. 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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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!

👆 🤡

Keep keeping your head in the sand with regards to why things continue to degrade, and you'll be the one to blame.

Biden could have killed all of this in the crib by supporting the students in the time they had. Bidens foreign policy and atrocious treatment of his own constituency with regards to the war in Gaza, and Harris' refusal to step away from his policies, are directly responsible for Trumps victory in November.

These things are deeply tied together. Were you arguing for people to suck it up and vote for genocide instead of arguing that Biden and Harris change their policies? If so, you might be, in part, responsible for the current state of things. But this intentional ignorance to how things physically come to be; this obsession with symbolic victories while being objectively bad in material reality: its central to why Democrats failed so hard in November. And if you persist in this, we can do nothing else other than blame you.

I didn't forget to change 'smurfs' but your terminology simply confirms my suspicion.

I use this account and about a dozen others to track you and others that appear to be apart of a nefarious group attempting to shift the Overton window.

Oops, wrong thread. 😘
