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!

Republicans: "Everybody watch out! There is a Democrat plot to steal the next election!"
Democrats: "Everybody watch out! There is a Republican plot to steal the next election!"
Do you people fucking hear yourselves?
Republicans:"democrats are trying to get ILLIEGALS to vote. We have no proof but ahhhhhhhhh!"
Democrats:"man do you remember how close they were when they were caught on video ACTUALLY STORMING THE CAPITOL BUILDING! I bet that they may try something else, like those fake electors, or....read the article"
But both sides are exactly the same! Why can't you see that? /s
Literally why Republicans project.
They level the playing field by pointing the finger away from themselves for what they themselves are doing. It's no longer just them doing something shitty, it's everyone, or no one. It becomes the childish "no you!" response that kills any argument that could be had if someone from the opposition criticizes them.
You can't be serious.
Sigh. There's always at least one of these things in every thread.

Republicans do a thing, baselessly accuse Democrats of doing that thing, so idiots conclude "oh, both sides are accusing each other of doing that thing, it's probably not happening."
How much Republican propaganda do you gobble up daily?
Absolutely pathetic that you can't see the difference.
Roughly equal parts liberal propaganda. I like to go exploring.
Obviously not though, right? Since you can't tell the difference between Democrats accusing Republicans based on an actual insurrection, and Republicans accusing Democrats based on literally nothing at all.
Are you just stupid, or what?
