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!

When I say that democrats have no interest in stopping fascism I mean to say that they actively use it as a tool to maintain political power. You could even call them fascist.The Democrats and the Republicans are two sides of the capitalist party and the capitalist party is becoming increasingly fascist.
That isn't an argument, it's a tantrum. 'We did nothing and it's your fault and both sides and' blah blah blah.
Liberals are burnt out dealing with you. You can't even tick a box to stop unambiguous authoritarian bigotry. Y'all wanna claim pragmatism over idealism - and then turn around and whinge about lesser evils. Good luck with the revolution or whatever else you're not gonna do. We're gonna be over here, checked out, for painfully obvious reasons.
Lol, I voted. Made my partner happy but changed nothing. When will you get it through your skull that you need to join organization, teach, unionize protest, and aid eachother? When will you do more than vote? Not all of us have the privilege of being safe when the democrats run their campaign into the ground. Quitting will just get the people you claim to protect killed. Its not a fucking tantrum. You a child in the backseat of your parent's car holding a steering and convinced you are driving. Politicans don't give a shit about your opinion. You are either an obstacle or a tool to them. Plenty of Germans "checked out" too, I am sure. Plenty of Germans believed the people dying had it coming.
