Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. 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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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!

Right now there's only fascists and those that oppose them. Kicking those opposed to fascism just after they were kicked to the ground by the electorate puts you on which side of things?

If the ones kicked to the ground are the ones that did everything in their hands to give fascists the government, yes, they deserve to be kicked some more.

Hillary vs Bernie? DNC chose Hillary. Joe vs Bernie? DNC chose Joe. 7 months for the election and Biden steps down? DNC chooses Harris "with the power of my finger". For fuck's sake! France had 6 weeks to prepare an election and they even had time to arrange coalitions between different parties! And to dig deeper, AOC does everything she can to help Harris and they thank her by trying to kick her out and change her by a guy with cancer.

Were you kicking at them when it was Trump vs. Hilary, Trump vs. Joe, and Trump vs. Kamala?

You're just rationalizing why you're constantly attacking anyone that opposes fascist Trump. A lot of wards against the opposition to Trump and zero words against Trump. You're just Trump's proxy minion.

I was against Hillary and against Joe because they are too right wing. And the DNC chose the rightmost candidate in the primaries.

And Trump, if it was for me, would have had the same destiny Biff Tannen. After all Biff was based on him.
