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!

Stop wasting our time with these articles. They're deporting people because of white supremacy, not because they suddenly really care about immigration law which they are ignoring by black bagging people anyways.

Agreed. What point was she even trying to make? Hypocrisy? I swear to God liberals are more helpful to fascism than conservatives are at this point. Their "opposition" is so weak it has to be in bad faith.

Fascist don't give a fuck about a liberals perception of hypocrisy. It's like trying to debate lord your way out of a Nazi death camp just waiting for the fascist to concede to your "superior argument".

The "debate lord" days are over. Fascist ideas won out. We need real material planning not these one liners. Even the right wing debate lords are dying out. No one wants to see Jordan Peterson "DESTROY a Liberal" anymore. Not even right wingers. They are much to happy watching Asmondgold cheer for deporting immigrants and bombing brown kids. The era of the "dumb guy" saying "well that's just common sense" is upon us.

They are done listening to anything liberals have to say. They are far too distracted by enjoying watching "justice" happen to the people that the Democrats ALSO alienated the last election.

This is what no dialects does to liberals. They have no feedback between ideas and material conditions to even recognize the shift. They are still fighting like it's 2008. We'll decline further into fascism as they pretend like they are resisting it.

They had a chance to go a different route with Bernie and they completely blocked it. So now it's too late. Even too late to take Bernie's route.
