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!

There is no rule that you must comment. Silence is an option. Ignorant people often struggle with this concept.
No one is gatekeeping your ignorance. They are the not down voting it. Big difference.
Feeling victimized by any of this is something altogether different. I do get a strong sense of political leanings by it, however.
This is why your political leanings are disappearing, you know? You're too concerned with slinging shit vs. actually doing anything useful.
Claiming I'm slinging shit is a real dramatic take on this.
I do enjoy the pile on of ignorants fighting for their right to speak when no one said otherwise.
It's really cute of easily you all feel victimized by this conversation.
I note that at no point, none you have disputed that you're ignorant.
I don't give any fucks if you post insipid comments. I haven't even downvoted any of it (I cannot expect the same from you.) I have merely pointed out that some people might rightfully see it as noise and of course you have to double down on the noise because you people think loud and obnoxious is winning.
