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!

Oh I’ve seen people try and explain it to you. Your comment history is full of you saying shit like this and then you refusing to accept being corrected.
I’m not about to waste my time like you did theirs in the effort to explain it. So, go ahead and invoke the tired internet rule of “I in because you refuse to entertain my argument.”
I’m not going to bite, bud.
If you've read my comment history you can see what i understand and (i assume thru your comment) what i do not.
If youre uninterested in educating me why did you comment? Is there a purpose i don't understand along with this issue which i clearly don't get?
I am prepared to be educated.
Nope. That’s not going to work. Nice try though.
So am i to understand the only purpose you ever had in commenting to me was to insult me?
No. Just to be counted among the many voices that have had to tell you that you’re wrong. And don’t think I didn’t notice your little meme edit there. You’re about as bad-faith as they get with that shit.
Additionally, per your baseless accusation- I don’t think I insulted you at all, I simply stated that you are wrong. But now that I see you ramping up into victimhood, I’m going to end this here.
