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!

Huh.
No where in his reply to you did he say you were a Russian asset. You said that. I find that fascinating.
I've accused this user in the past of being dishonest about their motivation in the stuff they post. They say they're a far-left person who's trying to post these things to create good things for the left in America, but the majority of what they post is just a clear pattern of dishonest borderline-propaganda about Biden several times a day every single day. Something like "Biden's conduct wrt Israel is unforgivable" I could understand and in some cases find some common ground of agreement with, definitely wouldn't lead me to accuse that person of being a shill, but instead of that it's "Biden is deliberately betraying people who voted for him in 2020 by doing (things he objectively didn't do) and we can't make the same mistake again," combined with no interest in talking about whether he actually did or didn't do whatever thing he objectively didn't do.
So, I don't think I specifically said they were a Russian troll specifically, but I definitely accused them of being a shill.
They follow me around and comment on a lot of my posts. It's an ongoing thing.
I actually usually don't realize it's your stuff until after I've gotten irritated by it -- there is a clear pattern of me saying something on your posts, but that's because your posts have a clear pattern of being dishonest in a particular way that pisses me off and makes me want to say something about it, not anything personal to you on my side.
