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!

the communist thing is so tiring. all my opponets are communists. The constant projectiong is tiring as well.
He doesn't have anything. He just applies the same attacks to a new person. Probably why he keeps confusing g who he is talking about.
There was a recent segment on the Daily show discussing exactly this. They even showed a several minute clip showing him using the exact same attacks he's been using for the past 10 years, word for word, except just changing the names to whoever he's attacking at that moment.
We have seen everything he has to offer. There's nothing new at this point. All he has is attack, attack, attack. And even then, there's only a small number of attacks he uses. He just repeats them over and over ad nauseum and switches out the names as necessary. Sometimes, he even gets the names right. Sometimes. None of that is even hyperbole or exaggeration. He literally has no new material.
Funny thing is. I'm from Central America and conservatives fucked my country, funded death squads, disappeared anyone suspected of being a communist, and they did all this to keep away Russia and make sure they didn't get a foothold in the Americas. Now those same conservatives suck Putin dick and call us criminals cause we flee the shit show Americans left us with
That’s typical. Conservatives are in it for the power, not the policy.
Like the post said the other day, "paying attention is infuriating and exhausting, but not paying attention seems irresponsible"
wow that does sum it up well. I mean you know your at the 7/11 and some guy is talking crazy to himself and you just ignore, get your stuff, and leave. I would love to be able to ignore this guy but like some people for some reason want him running the country.
It’s been a while, and it was just an elective class, but I remember the the poli sci professor was adamant that communism and fascism were opposing philosophies, socialism even more so.
And yet she gets accused of being all of the above.
That’s what narcissists do. They project. Cluster B is a real dick that way.
One aims to enact a state-enforced rigid hierarchy based on ethnicity, ability, religion, and/or sexual/gender characteristics and make sure one of those groups stays on top with no regard for the rights of the others. The other one (in theory) seeks to abolish all those hierarchies and even the state itself and put everybody on equal footing. Of course they'd be opposed.
ain't see one communist policy passed so guess they ain't so threatening
It was tiring in 2004 when Kerry was called one and in 2008 when Obama was called one.
