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!

Shit... is this why conservatives have such high numbers in polls even if they support turning your country into a shithole? Is it because Republican voters can't understand nuance in speech, so when they promise you things, you keep believing?
Wow, this is breakthrough-level stuff. Is everyone voting republican unable to discern sarcasm for example? Here - you have a really great view on politics. How does that statement make you feel? Are all republicans affected by this condition? Is every single republican out there actually on the spectrum and waiting for a cure for a condition they don't even know they have, because half of them lack the education to understand it's real? The ramifications of this are potentially yuuge.
Ah, but what if they have other speech/written text-related issues as well? Like how we've established you lack the ability to understand subtext, maybe you lose focus when reading long series of words. Are all republicans functionally illiterate or suffering from ADHD? Are you maybe too close to dementia to even be able to communicate cohesive thoughts? It's an interesting rabbit hole we're going down here. But hey, I probably wrote too much already, I'll give you a hand with the comprehension.
TL;DR: lol retard
Thank you! Glad to see somebody around here with some common sense.
On a serious note, please don’t throw around insensitive language, I know many people who have learning disabilities, and it’s not appropriate to use those words as insults. It’s hurtful.
Is this Drax the Destroyer? Holy crap! I gotta say you're my 6th favorite Guardian!
