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!

Must feel great only killing a few kids, huh?
If you had the power to save only one life would you take it, or let them die because you don't like your options?
You aren't as morally pure as you think. We have to do what we can with what we have.
Now they're all going to die.
You know what the lesser of two evils is?
Evil.
I'd easily take less evil than fascist evil. For anyone to not be able to distinguish the two is such a failure.
Heroically ignorant and without nuance.
Hush, child
And you happily accept without criticism the non-governmental organization that forced you into the trolley decision in real life? Go ahead.
I decide to criticize.
At no point did I ever say or imply to accept without criticism. If you have to put words in my mouth to make your point, you don't have one.
Survival tip, kiddo:
If you have to fight a group of foxes or a group of wolves, always choose the foxes.
I have done nothing but criticize Democrats for running a lousy campaign against a beatable opponent and taking a low-value stance in a high-stakes war.
So what the hell is your problem with me if it isn't that you're against all criticism of Democrats?
I don't block people often, but your continued use of diminutives to refer to me indicates you are a troll or psychologically immature. I'm a grown man with grandchildren. Blocked.
You're bad at blocking.
Almost as bad as comprehending why you're in this argument.
If you're angry that's on you.
Try blocking again, but this time with feeling, kid
