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 owe you shit debate me bro and I’m so fucking sick of fucking out to brunch liberals who stupidly think these people give a flying fuck about their law and order and decorum.
The SDP put the nazis in power by supporting the “lesser evil” conservatives over the communists.(sound familiar?) In America, the democrat party put the fascists in power by rigging the 2016 and 2020 primaries away from Bernie. They handed trump the election in 2016 and 2024, and had covid never happened trump would have won in 2020 unless the democrats also ran a populist. When Obama bailed out Wall Street in 2008 instead of Main Street he created the material conditions that allows fascism to accelerate. And he did a great job closing Guantánamo - soon to be a concentration camp for migrants and god knows who else. And all the executive branch power grabs since I’ve been alive that congress and the judiciary never bothered to stop. There’s been so many fucking off ramps missed that it’s intentional at this point. The wealthy want to kill most of us “useless eaters” off and rule the rubble in their “network states”. You don’t fucking get it and never fucking will. You’re a smug fucking liberal who doesn’t listen to marginalized people with the generational trauma of genocide no less.
God you’re so fucking dumb. What a winning fucking strategy. Are you a fucking boomer? What the fuck is this “yeah ratcheting to the right is a great idea! Let’s be fascist lite!” Fucking mask off moment right there! Thanks for proving my point about the democrats being UTTERLY FUCKING USELESS TO VOTE FOR. vote for the party of stabbing instead of shooting! Fuck outta here you weirdo debate me bro
THE DEMOCRATS ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE RISE OF TRUMP AND THE FASCISTS. THEY ARE A CONTROLLED OPPOSITION PARTY CURRENTLY CONFIRMING HIS NOMINEES THEY WON’T EVEN DO THE BARE MINIMUM AND OBSTRUCT. THE DEMOCRATS ARE COMPLICIT AND COMPLACENT IN GENOCIDE AND THE RISE OF FASCISM. THE TECHNOLOGY USED IN PALESTINE WILL BE USED AGAINST US NEXT. THE DEMOCRATS WONT SAVE YOU BUT WILL INSTEAD GIVE A LEGAL PATH TO THE FASCISTS TO HUNT YOU DOWN AND MURDER YOU.
Answer the question or admit you're an unhinged cortisol addict who is literally getting off on the thought of pain and suffering being brought down on you and everyone else.
Seriously, just re-read your responses. Just progressively more and more doomerism the more I corner you. You have no hope or plan for the future outside of accepting the boot on your neck and getting frothing mad at the people trying actually to prevent the backsliding into fascism.
I am looking for a path forward, while you are giving up and embracing defeat.
Answer the question. Not for me, but for your own personal growth.
I don’t owe you shit debate me bro. Fuck off. Blocked.
Keep supporting fascists and their collaborators, dipshit.
I get “frothing mad” at people who support FASCIST COLLABORATORS thinking they’re “helping”
I consider this you admitting defeat. Thank you.
