Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. 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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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!

Did... You just endorse shooting a child to achieve your goal? Are the mods awake???

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 week ago

No gods no masters no mods because they're very sleepy rn

We kill children every day to achieve political goals. The problem is when you endorse it. What we have learned is that you first condemn it, then you do it any way, you achieve some goal and refuse to comment or spin it so it's actual the other parties fault. This way there is no issue.

Not to get all Jordan Peterson on you but who is "we"? What "political goals"? I have no idea what you're saying

Every "voot bloo no matter hoo" person says the same thing...

I don't know who you're talking about here because we've been plenty critical of Biden's genocide support. Did you wake up yesterday?

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

So critical that anyone whom decided not to vote for a genocider is blamed for Trump today, rather than blaming the Dems for supporting genocide?

You were foolish to believe Trump would be any better after meeting privately with Netanyahu before the election and generally being a total racist piece of shit. But, here we are…

[–] [email protected] 0 points 6 days ago

I never considered Trump to be anything other than a fascist piece of shit.

And, regardless of who won, Palestinians are still being genocided...
