That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
:::spoiler Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

MODERATORS
"It's well within their power." What do you mean by that? That eliminating Medicaid is an acceptable decision? How in your right mind could you come to that conclusion?
"What's there to do?" Revolt
Ok, turbo, there's plenty of things to revolt over. Empty threats to cut Medicaid aren't one of them. They do this shit all the time while trying to make the opposition take the heat AND IT WORKS. Every time they shut down the government. It's a larger strategy to make leftist look reactionary and that is why corporate owned sites like reddit love pushing the narrative that the GOP is one step away from taking away entitlements.
The only flaw I can see with your argument is that they currently are one step away and they have an incredible history of taking from us
I'm telling you, the GOP will shoot themselves in the foot doing it and they know it. So if they put the heat on the left and point at us for being reactionary they can slink away for a few news cycles and blow up it in the background. Then no one will pay attention to it because they've already blew their load chastising lefties.
Don't believe me, look who's pushing the narrative. Your favorite ghouls. Nancy Polsei and Biden administration people. Not that they are malicious just they are predictable and the Republicans have been playing them for years.
Show me one time, one single instance, of saying, "I told you so" changing MAGAs tune.
I think people aren't really getting what you're trying to say but you're right.
