politics
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!

Brb.
Can't believe his campaign thought they should venture in there. Tiktok is home to the generation that doesn't watch cable news and hasn't yet been brainwashed that it's somehow okay to genocide children.
Edit. Yep some of them have been scrubbed all the way to a few anodyne comments saying shit like "you've got my vote mr president" but a lot of them are still flooded with creative ways to filter evade with Rafah and genocide references. Gonna give an intern repetitive strain injury.
if someone could take a bullet for the team, install that malware, and try to convince them about civil resistance that would be great.
You give too much credit to tiktok kids. They were running themselves over with their own cars just a few years ago.
Even their advocacy is a fad.
And so did idiots 25 years ago ghost ridin the whip
I do think the tide pods thing was unique to tik tok
As far as I know, there were very, very few cases of anyone actually eating a Tide pod. Like single digits.
@Arcane_Trixster not "giving them credit" just pointing out that their media consumption practices are not the same as older generations and that has given them a different perspective.

Use your words, FFS.
@Hyperreality fair point and China censors the hell out of its genZ. But China's method is to brainwash people that what it's doing in Xinjang somehow isn't happening.
Bombing Gaza is much harder to hide, so the party line becomes "it is but it's ok because reaons".
As far as I could see Tiktok was censoring things involving Palestine as well which is why a lot of FYP content is about watermelons.
There is no evidence of the "genicide in Xinjiang" besided the US, US allies and other sources stemming from Radio Free Asia, a known CIA mouth peice. when an idependent investigation came out by the orginasation of Islamic and Turkic States, investigated, they found no evidence of genocide.
