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!

everyone is bending the knee now, and y'all should be scared. rich people with loud voices don't normally shut up when there's shit to be said. something else is going on here, and we're not privy to it.

You have more faith in humanity than me. I think it's plenty normal for people to bend the knee to what they think will keep them safe and wealthy and it's not their own sacrifice.

So now we just know who they think is gonna win.

Who they think, only one side is fighting the other is like maybe my peaceful protest on the weekend we'll help this time. It's a war that the left has already conceded defeat. Like project 2025 said the next revolution we'll be bloodless if the left allows it.

you're saying the idea i am knowingly trying to fight. maybe it's the hand i write with, maybe it's my ideas, but i've always been gauche.

and we should fight nihilism and hedonism like our very future depends on it. look at the stats. and i'm the last person you'd want to encourage to reproduce, and yet here we are.

where are we? white people (i'm white, too) don't understand genes.

Threats to family and friends, most likely.
