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!

The loss of trust in the election system is not the fault of anyone but the public health apparatus that was used to change all the election rules last minute for no good reason. Just like how all the fascism we were subjected to in the name of covid rightfully lost people's faith in most public institutions
Most reasonable people understood it was a reasonable response to a shitty circumstance.
Ask Jewish people if they felt wearing masks and social distancing reminded them of the holocaust.
No, it was not reasonable. It was not backed by science, so what was the real reason?
It doesn't matter what race you are, all normal people oppose medical fascism
Agree, let's stop all the medical fascism, women should have a right to choose what happens to their bodies, including abortion.
And let's agree these suggested laws preventing some folks (read: trans) from getting care are like actual death panels.
Yeah let's do all that as well as ban lockdowns and vaccine mandates
I was obviously baiting here, and expecting a different response, so I can't argue against your consistency...
