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 sound exactly like the rest of the violent fascists you deride as though they are any different from yourself, you tell us. As a reminder, what you said was:
Tell me how that doesn't sound like a "violent fascist" to you.
Or better yet, don't. I looked at your post history. Less than a month old, and the vast majority of your comments completely ignore the crimes of the right -- you know, the fascists you claim to hate -- while pointing out front and center even the tiniest faults of anyone trying to make things right these days.
So tell it to someone else. Your posts sound exactly like the people trying to rile shit up from the right, and to the exact same end.
I cant help but notice that your path of pacifism and "incremental change" has led to the rapid and accelerating rise of fascism....so until you can come up with a solution that has actually worked historically as well as mine has, you have no business trying to ivory tower your "superiority complex.
By the way, wtf does "less than a month old" mean? How is that relevant? Exactly what gate are you keeping, and by whose authority? How old are you? Were you born in the 90s or after? Do you have any concept of a world before cable news was able to spew nonstop propaganda and the airwaves weren't saturated with constant radical fascist garbage? I can assure you that there is no possible way that I could be their equal in any way whatsoever. You would probably have nothing to compare to to know that.
ooooh, tough guy here.
Removed, rule 6. Don't let yourself be baited.
"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"
Wait. Literal death threats are OK and stay up, but I can't call him a goof?
No, his was removed too.
It's still there. What happens to people put in concentration camps for political reasons again? Was just in the news, the Navalny guy.
Sorry, my bad, I hadn't gone far enough up the thread.
Removed, rule 3:
"Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (perjorative, perjorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (perjorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect!"
Removed, no threatening death camps.
The modlog preserves removed comments, so, yeah:
"let me know where i sign up to round up the conservatives and put them into camps and i'll be there, because I CAN READ THE FUCKING WRITING ON THE WALL"
That's going to get your comment removed.
Check the sidebar if you're not sure. Actually, if you're not sure, it's probably not a good thing to post.
