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!

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.
