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!

Democrats are right wingers
Democrats: "We promise to build one concentration camp less than the Republicans!"
Yeah that's right: BoooOOOoTh SiDeS
This, but unironically.
America is a country that carefully maintains the appearance of democracy with none of the substance.
See people who can only speak in extremes lose me instantly. When you say "none of the substance", you remove the chance of a productive conversation because of course there is some level of democracy
If by "some level of Democracy" you mean that the only people whose opinions have a statistically significant impact on policy are the wealthy and a select few corporate lobbying orgs, then I don't disagree.
Science proved that America isn't a democracy over a decade ago: https://talkingpointsmemo.com/dc/princeton-scholar-demise-of-democracy-america-tpm-interview
We have never been a pure democracy so this is just as stupid and pointless as I said. You're arguing with an imaginary point of view.
"We've never been a pure democracy" sure sounds like "No True Scottsman" to me. More like oligopoly, than any kind of democracy, really.
But hey, don't listen to me. I didn't moderate my rhetoric to your preferred tone while casting aspersions at the Holy Democracy of America. XD
You should learn what that means before you use it
That's what we call just telling the truth now? Cool
No True Scotsman, for posterity.
I think you responded to the wrong person
They did not.
