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!

I learn all I can about what’s going on and talk to others to educate them about what’s happening. I’m doing what I can. If that’s not enough for you, that’s a you problem. Doing _literally anything _ is better than doing nothing. Which is apparently what want me to do. This is the second time you’ve advocated for inaction. Why?
In other words, you argue with people on the internet. How helpful.
And that bothers you? What are you here for, recipes?
No, it doesn't bother me that you think you're fighting genocide by arguing on the internet. It amuses me.
That's an interesting response to my showing your tacit admission that you do nothing about genocide, but criticize other people for not doing anything about it either.
But it's different for you, I'm sure.
It’s about spreading awareness. I don’t criticize others who can’t actively help, but I do criticize those who choose to ignore or apologize for it.
What awareness do you think you're spreading by berating people? Why would anyone want to check your link when you're being incredibly hostile? Why should anyone even believe what you have to say?
I can be way more hostile. I try not to insult or berate people, but it’s difficult when they call you “ dickcheese.”
Actually, you berated him first. You said:
And then he said:
So you are being very dishonest here.
Also, "I can be way more hostile" doesn't actually mean you achieve anything with your current level of hostility.
Anyway, there’s still a genocide going on.
Not acknowledging blatant dishonesty is another reason why no one gives you much credence.
I’m not here for validation, are you?
No, you're here to be needlessly rude to people and self-righteously claim it helps fight genocide.
I’m sorry you feel that way. I only disrespect those that disrespect me.
I showed very clearly that was not true. Why are you lying?
Because I’m not lying. The commenter said;
I felt my response was proportional. He disrespected me, I disrespected him. You think I’m hostile, I’m demonstrating that I’m not trying to be. Why are you so invested in proving me wrong?
Would you like me to start quoting other times you have been rude to people who weren't rude to you? Because I will be happy to do so from now on.
If you think it would be helpful, sure.
Lol 8k comments in 5 months.
You may want to go touch grass, you seem extremely out of touch with reality.
Sorry it took me so long to respond, I was spending time with my wife and daughter. It’s called multitasking.
Multitasking is doing multiple things at once, saying I couldn't do ______ because I was doing _____ is precisely NOT multitasking.
And #Doubt on your marriage.
you've been commenting every ~240 minutes for days, possibly even longer.
If your wife does exist she's getting railed by the mailman.
You’re right about the multitasking. Thanks for caring about my wellbeing. Reciprocally, if you’re having to do math to make me look bad, I’m not your problem.
I'm sorry you find math so laborious, however I don't have to do math to make you look any certain way when you do so well on your own. I'm just setting the stage for you
🍿
Nothing is compelling you to tell someone you don’t like them; you are making that choice yourself. Just breathe. It’ll be okay.
"don't like"
😂 Buddy, I find you delightfully entertaining, your lack of perspective and inability to self reflect are amazing. I stand in awe.
I saw the Boy and the Heron today. I thought the pacing was off and it lacked the light-heartedness and general levity in a lot of Miyazaki’s previous works. It was good, but not great.
Spirited Away is amazing and one of the best films I’ve ever seen.
While I agree with your intent, your tact here is pretty counterproductive. Making a point in such a way that it causes the Internet version of a mass eye roll suggests you're getting written off.
What good does that do?
Thanks for the constructive criticism. It won’t be dismissed. It’s sometimes difficult to temper a response after another user calls you “ dickcheese.” I’ll try do better.
You triggered, Captain Dick Cheese? What are you gonna do about it? Shoot up a school?
I got promoted. I must be doing something right.
Lol, I feel you so hard on that. As I said in another comment which I didn't realize was also to you, I think a lot of people agree with the point you're trying to make. I certainly know you and I agree on a lot of things.
Kudos for staying consistent in your responses. I’m all over the place depending on my mood. I strive for that consistency. At the time, I made the comment, it appeared to be turning into a Republican hate fest. And I just wanted to remind everyone that Democrats have problems too. If I read the room wrong, I’m sorry.
