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!

Remember folks: political violence is totally justified and not authoritarian a long as it's not against a Democrat!
Democrats are the chosen political party! They are better than you! They know what's best for you! Fuck you for having any ideals that go against their infallible ideology!
You're a stupid piece of shit if you aren't a Democrat! So you deserve violence against you!
It's not terrorism, it's "fuck you, you aren't a Democrat so you deserve it!"
99% of political violence in this country is from your side, but its a classic republican move to attempt to blame everyone else with the charges of the stuff your side is actually doing itself. So you're just a tired and not very original liar/troll. Arent there snowflake/safespace threads you should be on? You might get your feelings hurt here or god forbid, talk to a female and that would be a real tragedy because you might go hurt someone because of it. Or kick/kill an animal seems to be the thing your side prattles on about lately isnt it.
But yes, boohoo you're a victim and dems are violent. message received.
" your side".
See, people just assume that if you don't agree with the general ideology, you are an enemy.
I tend to agree with most socially "left" ideas, but because I don't want tax money to go toward wars or abortion as a form of birth control, I am a totalitarian piece of shit.
There is no nuance anymore. It's always: "you are either with us or against us" mentality. And there is absolutely NO WAY you can tell me that's not the case (at least on social media).
You're the one that came in with "Democrats bad". This was about "of course presidents shouldn't have immunity FFS."
that is an interesting observation. The idea of coalitions has seemingly broken down and its as you said now for everyone-- you're onboard with whatever the dems or repubs say and do, or you are labeled as supporting the enemy and a memebr of their camp. And no one puts forth a platform or plans like they used to. What a time to be alive eh.
I do wonder if this is the end of the American government. It sounds alarmist and a little crazy but also plausible. Fundamental architectural peices of our government are breaking down-- like when the supreme court ruled that presidents are not legally unaccounatble and presumed acting legally no matter what they do. Its not just problematic its broken. So now we inevitably get to watch that break spectacularly., standing here with our genitals in our hands. Does that mean seal team 6 shooting Americans like the news said was possible? I dont know. But its legally allowed now, so...?
Man, fuck off with this partisan bullshit
Do you feel the same way about medicine and food?
Democracy, medicine and food all have the same goal, making life better.
Being against democracy is like criticising someone for eating or using antibiotics.
Are you just admitting to being a complete moron here?
I feel that the product of someone else's labor is not a right just because you want the product but don't want to go through the process of learning how to create that product. Just because it's a specialized trade doesn't mean you automatically have a right to it!
I will take your change of subject to mean you realize your argument was a loser.
