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!

Now she's gone full squad. She drives me nuts when she does this.
Does what? Speaks truth to power? Opposes insurrectionists and undue foreign government influence on American elections from an apartheid regime?
You've been huffing propaganda fumes without the necessary protective equipment known as common sense and critical thinking, haven't you?
You're just fabulous. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.
And you're just obnoxious. Don't let your own delusions of rationality tell you otherwise.
Don't take compliments well I see.
That was about as complimentary as this is:
“Now she sounds like those other people that say truthful things I don’t want to hear.”
wat
Fair enough. So ask me questions again and I'll see if I want to spend time answering them, as you play with yourself.
That's true
Lets see....
No I like that about her.
She doesn't do a he'll of a lot of that, but I like that too
If you say so chief. You must know me so well.
So what exactly is it that you object to?
Oh it's another one....
It's probably just me. To me AOC is smart, young and clever. Unlike some, I think progressive voices are important in Congress. The government works better when there is a range of opinion. AOC comes from something like a D+22 district. Not everything she does can be sol d to the rest of the country no matter what she thinks. The Green New Deal comes from a white paper used by Obama. In whole it doesn't make much sense but parts of it are very good. Rather than working on those parts, AOC went all or nothing. Which was a shame since Pelosi opened the door for her as a new member. But,every once in a while she does something which may satisfy her ideology but affects nothing. Such as taking on one lobbyist here. being vocal is all good and well, but...
Anyway, some people are tied to politicians and think they can do no wrong. Its not true.
We know about your foot fetish already, there, Matt Gaetes....
No u
