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!

This isn't virtue signaling or moral high grounding.
It's pointing out facts. The fact is the leaders of the democratic party are the most divisive of all, claiming to espouse progressive policies yet always blaming the most ardent supporters of those policies when they lose elections.
Why are people seeking refuge in a party that silences the voices of the people most in need. This is the whole point. There will be no appeal to their power. They enjoy the divide because it keeps them in power.
Bernie Sanders just had someone thrown out and arrested for raising a "Free Palestine" flag at his latest rally while the whole auditorium was chanting "Free Palestine."
The false claims of anti-semitism/national security that Trump is using to deport people started underneath the democrats with their support.
Because the other option is the destruction of Western intellectualism, death camps, the genocide of the working class and White Supremacy. It's quite simple really.
This is an example of being obtuse.
One party wants you to shut up so the other can run wild over you.
The duopoly ladies and gentlemen.
Take note, this is why America need massive education reform and funding for a comprehensive federal department of education. Reading comprehension is suffering.
Yes, and you have been the shining example. Thank you for your cooperation.
As a European, thank you. Remember to sound the words out one syllable at a time when you get stuck. <3
I was wondering why you had no clue what you were talking about. You're experience of America is totally online and not working with the public and citizens everyday as I do.
How much time and money and energy did you donate to Bernie? Because I did a considerable amount of each and many people who did with me share the same insights.
So thanks for the great story.
No, it isn't actually but when you've never lived outside your state, I guess it's hard to imagine someone who's lived on multiple continents.
Wrong again buddy. Keep trying for the internet points.
