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!

You lost all credibility when you said that. Try disagreeing without namecalling.
Tell you what. Let's make a bet. Whomever has the greater amount of net votes between the 2 posts above by the end of this Sunday vows to stop posting in this community until after the election.
Edit: We'll get a mod on the actual server to make the call.

He followed up with evidence, and you're crying about name calling, which wasn't even towards you. Disingenuous as usual.
I didn't say he called me names. But he called Jill Stein, "Putin’s Jizz Stein." What "evidence" is there to call her Jizz Stein? That's name-calling, friend. And uncalled for.
One can produce "evidence" and an argument, without resorting to name-calling. I stand by what I said. Thank you!
So by doubling down are you willing to actually stand by it and take the bet? Tell you what. I'm so confident you're wrong that I'll give you an hour from the posting of this to craft a full on dissertation on why you think Stein is teh best candidate. You can edit your first reply to that dissertation, I'll screenshot it and put it in here to make it concrete and official and we'll let the 2 posts see who wins the credibility contest.
You willing to stand by your opinion or are you just bluster?
I'm not even voting for Jill Stein, friend.
Also, I don't have to explain myself to you at all. About anything.

Seeing as we're friends, I'll share with you my favourite Shakespear quote:
"Cowards die many times before their deaths. The brave taste of death but once." (Julius Caesar, Act 2 Scene 2)
Tell that to all* the voters who claim they would vote for someone else, "but can't let tfg win!"
Cool story, bro. I don't have to explain myself to you at all.
And I'm not even voting for Jill Stein.
You really do need to explain yourself if you want to come in here and try to shill for a russian asset. For someone who continually claims to "not be voting for Jill Stein" you certainly seem to be taking every opportunity to post about her. I guess it keeps you off the front lines though.
Actually, no. No, I don't.
If you believe any part of the article is inaccurate, I encourage you to reach out to the news organization that published it. If you think the article doesn't align with the community guidelines, feel free to contact the moderators. Thank you!

I don't have to explain my actions to you. I didn't write the article.

No need to explain yourself to me. But since you’re “not voting for Jill Stein” yet continually post articles about her, it would perhaps be beneficial, not for me but for this community in general, to understand what your motivation is in that regard.

I don't have to explain anything to you. Thanks.
And there we have it. When called out on your behaviour and your fallacy stripped away, your only recourse is to ignore, and repeat the same words. Perhaps you don't have to and didn't want to, but you have actually "explained" yourself quite adequately by your responses.
I don't have to explain anything to you.
Then why keep asking? Stay mad. I don't care. :)
This you?
Seeing as Stein has no credibility herself it all evens out.
And I noticed you were able to easily say that without resorting to name-calling. Unlike the other poster. :)
Coming back to check how soundly this statement was beaten into oblivion will forever make me smile.
Wow, so you are happy engaging in namecalling. That says way more about you than it does me.
If you enjoy making fun of people, then you are definitely in the right place. Enjoy.
The fact that you enjoy it so much, actually tells me that my guess about you was right. I think you're the one spreading misinformation and doubt and that maybe you aren't even voting Democrat. I think I know which side you're on. Your actions are proving it.
And you also seem to care way more about upvotes and downvotes than I ever have or will ever do. lol
I stand by what I said about namecalling. Proudly. :)
You lost all credibility when you started namecalling. Try disagreeing without namecalling.
When someone is so reprehensible, being an obvious traitor to her country for a few rubles, is put in their place I do find joy. Some people deserve much worse but insults are the only real recourse.
I only care about up-votes in this case because it objectively proves you wrong about discrediting which means your predictable burying your head in the sand patently won't work (Hence your spiral into salty hostility). Sorry friend, but beating your chest and crying "I'm right!" won't work when it's prefaced by a big red numeral "f you, you're wrong". :)
I don't have to explain anything to you. Thanks!
