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!

You just want people to do nazi shit without anyone callin' it nazi shit.
No, I want people to stop calling everyone they disagree with a nazi/fascist and simply shouting "YOURE A NAZI!" over and over instead of actually having a conversation.
You guys are doing your absolute best to make terms like nazi and fascist lose all meaning, just like you have already done with transphobe and bigot.
I pretty much reserve transphobic to posts that express transphobia or support for transphobia demagoguery and political parties.
Similarly with fascist.
I don’t understand why transphobic fascists get so upset when their transphobic fascist posts are criticized.
The issue is when people, probably like yourself, incorrectly call things transphobia and fascism, while excusing your own side for their fascist tendencies (like silencing opposition, controlling narratives on social media, etc).
99% of what is called "transphobia" and "fascism" online these days is neither.
Person 1: "Drag queens shouldn't be allowed to perform sexually charged strip teases for children. It's inappropriate even if it was a straight white male doing a strip tease and acting that way."
Person 2: "Nazi! Fascist! Transphobe!"
And there it is. The lies and the fascist remedy all proudly posted.
And the misinformation is allowed because it's hateful.
I'd say calling for the eradication of trans people is both transphobic and fascist.
You get called nazi, fascist, transphobe, and bigot a lot, huh?
