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!

Yes, America.
Famously not prone to the assassination of political enemies.
Definitely no racial component to your complaint either.
Yeah, totally racist to be upset when other countries carry out assassinations here.
Ah, so you just blame all immigrants for the actions of the government they're moving away from for non-racial reasons, I see.
That's why you want more Americans fleeing a fascist takeover, makes sense.
Hey, quick mental exercise, what does an American emigrant look like when you picture them?
Careful with those mental exercises bud, you might give yourselves a nosebleed.
Actually, a lot of the ex-Americans I've worked with are a pretty mixed bag, race-wise, and it's not really surprising that non-white portion might have extra reasons to not be comfortable with the potential government of the future (that said, they might not be too impressed with the potential future government in Canada either).
I've also had the pleasure of working and socializing with a good number of intelligent, well-educated immigrants from India etc, but there's a difference between bringing in educated members of a foreign country and opening the floodgates for McJobs so that corporations can keep on a cheap and easily-controllable workforce.
I'd welcome Americans looking to get away from fascism, but I'm not terribly impressed by bringing in large numbers of people from any country who bring their conflicts and hatreds from the motherland to here.
The interesting assumptions and continued willful ignorance continues, I see.
Some might take this chance to reflect on their thoughts and perhaps address their biases, but that's apparently off the menu today.
Hey bud, who was being assassinated by Modi's regime and why?
Shall I interestingly assume you're totally ok with international assassinations being on the menu then? Where would you like them to serve it up next? And how?
How about Russian style with a little polonium tea?
