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!

I don't think you can put the Clinton's and the Trump's anywhere near each other.
They may both be wealthy, self serving elites, but Trump is a classless slob of little substance who gleefully sold out America at every possibility.
Trump and his ilk are scum of the earth, and actively trying to oppress you into slavery.
The Clinton's may suck, but it's like comparing a dust buster to a black hole and calling it the same.
I was critiquing specifically Bill Clinton.
A man who has been accused of rape multiple times and used the power of his office to seduce a 22-year-old intern.
They are alike in that way. We keep giving him a place to speak and acting like he isn't a gross piece of shit.
They're both rapists and abusers, and continuing to give Bill Clinton a fucking pass makes us no better than them.
Literally the only way it reflects on Hillary is her unwillingness to dump the dude herself. That doesn't necessarily mean she's a horrible person by association.
(*Clintons, Trumps)
Yeah, saw that after I posted, but I'm on mobile and lazy
Damn that autocorrect and laziness
