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!

really hoping he dies soon
Painfully and in fear
And hopefully takes his empire down with him
Tick tock, asshole.
Not that another asshole won't replace him.
Yes he is. But if he wasn't, someone else would be. The point being the only way these pieces of shit are allowed any power is because we don't understand - as a populace - how media works. It's not part of our processing of input. And so, propaganda works, it can't be countered and the only way to defeat it will never be taught.
Yes, we need stronger broadcast regulations and schools must do their best to equip students with the ability to recognize disinformation. Efforts in teaching won't be perfect especially at first but we must make progress.
And as a society we just voted against all that. YAY!!!!
Sadly, we've been saying this for 50 years. Outlook not so good.
Look how long it took for (most) slavery to be abolished. Don't give up so easily, then they win.
Yeah, Outlook sucks, but why the tangent?
Oh you.
Man, these old heartless fucks just won't die. Part of me thinks we have shot ourselves in the foot coming out with the vaccine so quickly. Maybe if we would have let COVID cook a little longer we could have shaken off a few of these parasites.
Good news!
Covid had a peak mortality rate of about 3%
Bird Flu has a mortality rate of about 56%
And most cases at the moment come from unpasteurized milk, which his buddy RFK jr promotes to Fox News fans (MAGA idiots).
If it stays the way it is with no person-to-person transmission they'll thin themselves out pretty quickly.
The evil don't follow the advice they give to the masses.
True, but the masses that vote for them do.
No voters = no power
One of. But fighting for the top.
