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!

Good thing everything on the internet is true. You must be a real "dem" for sure. That is how us "dems" refer to ourselves all the time. Right fellow dem? Actually, I'm not a dem. I'm a straight ticket repub. I've just become disenfranchised with my party due to their policies which is what this post is actually about. For some reason you want to talk about anything but that though... Strange.
Instead of trying to convince people of something completely unverifiable, do you care to comment on the actual subject of this post or are you just here to complain about how everyone picks on the poor Republicans who are actively trying to block aid to hurricane victims so that they'll be unable to vote in swing states?
Lol dude get a life, my comments are straightforward and comprehensive. Idgaf if you don't want to read them, want to make a thousand strawmans, or make me into a REPUBLICAN PLANT that has REAL REASONS to lie about that. You very clearly project your bizarre worldview onto others. Have fun with that.
What? Lol. You're not even coherent anymore. Do you care to comment about the actual subject of this post though?
Reading comprehension doesn't seem to be your strong suit. Why would I waste any actual thought on some weird teenager who thinks there are uNdErCoVer rEpUbLiCaNs in this thread CREATING OUTRAGE and KEEPING OTHERS FROM ENGAGING lolol, I have a hard time even typing that out without cringing, you weirdo
Sigh. Don't be so dramatic. I'm just here to talk about the actual subject of this post. I didn't care about your voting preferences. I just think it's wrong to try and block disaster aid.
Lol "sigh" followed by "don't be dramatic", classic :) also following your bizarre accusations about my NEFARIOUS MOTIVATIONS, totally not dramatic
Kinda weird to say "I don't care about your voting preferences" after explicitly making this our back-and-forth all about my voting preferences (well, your incorrect assumption about my voting preferences)
Your voting preferences are not verifiable and therefore not important to this conversation. The only thing that we can currently verify about you is that you really really don't want to talk about Republicans blocking aid to hurricane victims. What do you think about the subject of this post?
