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!

Or leave if you can
And go where? Gotta work. Gotta eat. At a certain point if you’re not in the top 5% of applicants, you’re screwed. Your choice is die on your knees or die fighting.
No place on earth is far enough away from the fuckwits who control everything. I wish leaving the US would be the end of it, but everywhere sucks.
Hence "if you can". I'm currently making it work, but I know it's not an option for everyone. And yes, it's gonna suck worldwide, but I'd rather not remain in a country that wants to throw me in a concentration camp because of my skin color or gender identity.
There aren’t many countries that can’t slip into that at any moment. Germany has rising right-wing influence. China is already there. Canada is getting… weird. Anything south of the border is a little sketchy. Where are you going?
So your solution is to stay in a country that is actively in the early stages of full blown genocide against people exactly like me? Please answer as to why the fuck I would want to stay here if I have the chance to get out? I've spent the last 25ish years of my life fighting for the right to simply exist and no one gave a shit, so fuck staying.
No, their solution was to ask you what country you actually deem safe. Something you appear to be incapable of answering.
Exactly.
