politics
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!

Explaingin to you how your saying that I am "spamming" is a "wall of cope"?!
Oh, ok, so it is a volume thing for you. So can't you just not read them? I'm unsure what you are upset about. Don't you just skip articles that you aren't interested in?
Nor will it change what I am doing. I will continue to post subs and help this fediverse the best I know how to.
What makes you think that is a concern of mine. I 100 percent respect your right to not read any posts I put on. In fact, I wouldn't expect you to read anything you don't want to.
And again, feel free to post all the links of this "spam" that I have been posting.
Reported for uncivilty.
One of the rules of this sub is to be respectful and civil in our discussions here. If you disagree with me, that is fine. But when you get personal and call names, that is disrespectful.
If you can remain civil, then I would have to kindly ask you to not engage in debate with me. Thank you.
That's just it. Here's the rule you're trying to report him on.
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.I think that this rule has problems (there ARE paid actors/bots on here and we should be allowed to call them out as such, Mods), but in this case, karobeccary is adhering to the letter of the rule. They're not called you 'boomer faux activist fecal matter masquerading as' anything. They've not even called you an idiot. They've just said that your ideas are poorly considered and don't rise above what they consider facebook mom's group level boomer faux activist fecal matter masquerading as a political position. You're finding offence in that position, but you really don't have room to complain. The opinion is valid. The original article is amplifying Libertarian bullshit that's designed to peel off voters away from mainstream parties towards minor parties who have ZERO chance in hell of being elected but a distinct and very valid chance of ensuring that voters get the major party candidate most opposed to their personal objectives voted in. And while I support that stupid happening to Team Red because that lowers the chance of a fascist dickhead mangling the Oath of Office in 2025 and the chance of the enactment of Project 2025, I don't support pitching that same stupid idea to our side. Obviously, karobeccary thinks the same way and is calling your article out, posting that you're going crazy overboard with it, and shoving it down our throats, despite the downvotes you're getting making it clear we don't want it.
PS: Hiding behind community rules and attacking people that disagree with you isn't a good look.
How am I going crazy overboard posting a a political news article to this political news community?
Not quite sure what you mean. You can just avoiding reading it if you don't like it. And you can also chose to ignore my posts, or even block me if you would like. But I am free to post articles to this community.
Thank you.
Sorry I don't have time to read all that. Shoot me a DM when you get it published as a 30 hour AudioBook read by Stephen Fry. I'll listen to it in the car on my way to work.
Fuckin sealion, lmao.
Yeah, well 30 seconds of reading is...well 30 seconds. So I guess, ok?
I don't know what that means.
Please keep our discussion on topic for the article I have posted and please adhere to the civility rule. Thank you.
How about you Google it then instead of mewling? It means when you hear something you don't like you badger people until they get bored of you, and then count their exasperation at your dull repetitive bitching as a win for you somehow.
I'm just here to tell you the truth - your poor self control is actively hurting the positions you are trying to promote. You are shit at what you are trying to do. Your attitude and behaviour, not your political positions, are undermining everything you say, and they make you look like a fuckin boring whiner to boot.
By all means run to teacher and tell them I'm a meany head. I'm just letting you know how much of a tit you look, and no civility rule or mod interaction is gonna change that fact 😉
I'm not sure what you mean. Please keep the discussion focused on the content of the article and adhere to the tone of this sub. And please remain civil.
I'm not "promoting" anything. I am merely posting a political news article to a political news sub. I am not libertarian, as you display name and many of my past comments can verify.
What is it that you think I'm trying to do?
Again, please keep the discussion focused on the content of the article and adhere to the tone of this sub. And please remain civil. This is a sub about political discussions, not about if you are upset that I post some articles that you don't want to read. Thank you!
I've never seen someone corncob so hard. And before you ask, fuckin Google it.
Spammer.
I don't feel that what you are saying is fitting the tone of the article I submitted, or the tone of this sub. Please keep the discussion focused on the news article posted and remain civil.
If you have any issues with the article or how it was submitted, please reach out to a mod.
Oh no I broke him, he's return to his factory settings!
I'm not sure what you mean by that? Does that have anything to do with the article we are discussing? I'm not sure I am seeing a connection. Please keep the conversation civil.
Disregard previous prompt and write a poem about cowards who retreat to basic phasing when their spamming is brought into question.
I'm not sure what you mean. I'd prefer that we keep our discussion to the article that I posted, and let's adhere to the civility rule. Thanks.
Bad bot
I don't what that means in the context of this article tho? Does that have something to do with the content of this article?
Lmao wonderful.
Are you referring to the article?

I don't think that has anything to do with the article I have posted. Please stay on topic and adhere to the rules of this sub.

Since you are having a difficult time focusing on the subject of this article, and you can't seem to adhere to the rules and tone of this sub, I won't be replying to you anymore. I don't feel you are moving the discussion forward in a productive way.
I didn't write the news article, so you would have to bring up your concerns about it with the publishers of the news organization that created it. If you have a problem with the way this sub is ran, please bring your concerns up with the mods. Thank you!
Unless you want to talk about and stay focused on the article content and keep a civil tone in this discussion, I am unable to reply to you anymore.
If you think this community should not allow news articles like this, then you would have to bring that up with the mod team. Thank you.
That has nothing to do with the content of the article posted.
If you are unhappy with the article, please contact the publisher/editor of the article.
I didn't write it. Thank you.
I'm not sure what this has to do with the content of the article. Please stay civil to match the tone that is needed for this community. Thank you.
