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!

Nothing makes me madder than people trying to right historic injustice and make a better, more inclusive world for everyone.
I wish people would stop making me pay attention to the systemic oppression of minorities; as a white guy, I'm pretty sure we solved racism.
“Sesame Street in the 90’s told me racism was solved and I never actually asked anyone if their lives were better.”
Say it the right way you coward....
You want to foolishly "solve" racism with reverse-racism.
But of course reverse-racism is just code for racism toward whites. Which is simply racism.
Say it right and stop hiding behind some altruistic bullshit. Of course the only thing that reverse-racism does is create more hatred, more animosity, which ultimately breeds more racism.
Congrats, you clown, you just fell for what the elites want you to fall for... a race war.
Oh, you misunderstood me; I agree with you!
I hate forced introspection, and I'm proud of white people for fixing racism. We did it! Fuck the elites making us pretend like there are still historic injustices to correct! Reverse racism is the real issue that we should focus on now. We white people have been shit on for long enough!!
I'm just glad to have found another enlightened individual to discuss this with!
