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!

Wait. Tucker? I thought he’d been deplatformed.
He seems to be on twitter. yt algorithm recommended his video for some reason.
Maybe you’re a republican, but google somehow figured it out before you did?
YouTube thinks I'm far right because I watch videos related to some of my hobbies, which happen to be dominated by far right morons.
Same here. Also live in a red state. I mostly have hobbies on my recommendations I try hard to keep politics off my algorithms cause it can be a black hole and take over everything.
Same.... Same.
Sup fellow Video Game/Warhammer/Star Trek fan 😂
Don't forget us about us left wing farmers/hunters/outdoorsmen and shooting enthusiasts! I keep the majority of my hillbilly hobby to IRL only as the algorithms quickly follow the chain of gun owner -> gun nut -> far right -> conspiracy theorist and Trump fan
There are dozens of us!
Yeah that's what gets me all the right wing nonsense. I love fishing, hunting, driving trails (usually to a fishing spot), and the outdoors generally. Apparently that means I'll love outright hateful content and Jesus.
I'd not heard of Star Trek. How the fuck can someone be right wing and watch Star Trek and go "yeah that represents my views"?
You'd be surprised at the amount of "Star Trek has gone WOKE/SJW" content on the internet. Yeah it doesn't make sense to me either.
My brain just had a momentary blue screen crash reading that.
Yeah Star Trek, the show to have literally the first interracial kiss on TV, with shatner intentionally sabotaging the take with the white actress to keep the other take in, and has one of the most diverse casts ever for a TV show, has only NOW gone woke. /roll eyes. Fucking maroons.
The article only has one line about this, noting that what platform this interview would take place on is unclear. I just checked and it looks like he's continued to do a show on Twitter despite Fox News sending him a cease-and-desist letter, so presumably it would be there.
The media will chop up the interview no one watched and play pieces of it ad nauseum on air and online.
