Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. 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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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!

The fact is that anyone who has spent any time in a conservative space will know that what I’m saying is right. You can see it for yourself if you like. These are public online boards.

Conservative spaces are not encumbered by pesky things like facts. Setting things their way doesn't make one correct.

[–] Plebcouncilman 1 points 14 hours ago

So they are not stating a fact when they say there liberals that have called for violence against conservatives but you are being factual when you say that conservatives have called for violence against liberals.

I’ve seen both sides call for violence against one another so I can say that you are both being factual but whatever. It’s clear you suffer from the same affliction as them. I’m not going to engage in this pointless debate any longer.

I just hope both factions one day can either reason with one another, or at the very least de-escalate things.

That's your problem. You spend your time immersed in the lies of the Conservative Propaganda Machine, and can't figure out why the rest of the world doesn't see it your way. All you can do is try to get your opponents immersed in the Conservative Propaganda Machine, and hopefully they will start seeing it your way.

Get away from Conservative sources, and find out what the rest of the world is saying without the treasonous Conservative spin.

Visiting conservative spaces just to get their take on what’s happening doesn’t mean that I’m “immersed in their lies” I literally just look at what both sides say. You know what i won’t even continue this discussion, because you’re either trolling me at this point or you’re genuinely blind to your own zealotry.
