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!

lol yes you are. You claim to be a democrat but you've got a lot of Republican genes in your beliefs. Also The way you talk is definitely Republican.
Look if you want to "pass" as a Democrat you're going to have to do a lot more work and maybe hide some of your more Republican tendencies in like a closet or something.
You'll never be a real dem but you might fool some folks if you keep putting on democratic clothes and practice passing.
But i'll never accept you, and it's important to me that you know that, and what that means.
I'm not a democrate either. In the land of sanity I am a left leaning libertarian.
If you don't like what I say and think, then the likely difference between you and me is sanity.
Ah, sorry i don't recognize that as a "real" political position. Make up all the fancy names for your beliefs that you (and people like you) please, but here in the real world you are Republican. That's that.
EDIT booo i think he blocked me, sensing somehow the colombo-esque point i was trying to make slooooowly closing around him. Beer says he couldn't figure out what it was tho, even though i made it pretty blatant.
A pity, soft but clever types like him will never learn their lesson. At least this savant isnt american...
Yeah I'm blocking you because I don't communicate with the insane.
Dont be afraid dude, learning is a necessary part of growth. Even your wish to block out my words is an important step. I didn't want that part to happen, but it isnt necessarily a setback. I will be here waiting patiently for your third and final part of this lesson.
PM me when you're ready.
