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!

Once again, to anyone who has ever said I was overreacting about this term, kindly fuck yourself sideways.
Remember remember the fifth of November.
The gunpowder treason and plot.
I know of no reason the gunpowder treason should ever be forgot.
sorry, some linguistic ambiguity: this term as in these four years or this term as in these words? i have responses to each, and i am sure you probably meant something entirely different because it's only 6am and it's already been a long day.
These four years. I thought he’d be a shit President back in 2016, but didn’t anticipate him actively trying to destroy the U.S. This second time around his intended malevolence was crystal clear.
Our leadership, both DNC and especially republican, has failed us as a people. Capitalism has failed us. It’s a disgusting look in the mirror, but we have to realize this is the USA working exactly as intended. Capitalism in America, brought on by genocide and slaughter, was always intended to go this way. We are in 1930s capitalist Germany, for all intents and purposes. When shit hits the fan, and I’m starting to believe it really will, it’ll be up to us and our neighbors to pick up the pieces together. The DNC has abandoned the people in favor of right wing Neo liberal imperialism abroad and at home. It’s time to abandon them so we can attack fascism at its roots, not just the emboldened Trump admin. It goes way deeper than that, unfortunately.
Yeah, I'm with you. I don't think there's quite a possible overreaction (we all have our own reactions and that's cool, but I'm not blaming anyone for going a touch insane (because dungeness knows my grip ain't the tightest)) I'm just saying mine is about an ounce a month
I don’t think there ever was a slippery slope fallacy.
You're overreacting to that criticism.
aw i rolled a bigfoot. what's that mean
He said "kindly"
