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!

Look at the Dem voting pattern in the past few months. They're part of the problem. They won't save you.
If that’s true, nothing will. We need not only Dems, but independents and GOP voters that realize they’ve been swindled.
Exactly. The public needs to be in support of this. Relying on Dems will not help. They are not on your side either.
Voting won't save you.
Voting also isn't the only option.
Recall that there are four boxes of liberty.
I know ballot box, soap box, and ammo box. Is the fourth one a coffin box?
You forgot the jury box i.e. jury nullification
"Eyy what murders? I didn't see no murder. Brian Thompson just fell on some bullets."
There's a saying about the western front of WW2, "The war was won with Soviet blood, British intelligence, and American steel" though over simplifying the whole affair and the contribution of the Czechs, Poles, Norwegians, Danes, Belgian, etcetera the point is still broadly true. I say this to point out that the destruction of fascists is a multifaceted operation and that decrying the use of a tool no matter how small is foolish.
Ideally we will be able to vote them out and then get to lynching the sons of bitches, but only using two tools is unlikely. But well as Cincinnatus once said "Hope for peace, Prepare for war".
I think that saying is just the British patting themselves on the back. It was mostly just Soviet blood that liberated the camps.
It ain't British Intelligence was fucking nuts and after awhile just devolved into trolling the Axis because they were that far ahead. Same thing with American war materials it gave both the Soviets and British enough slack to focus on what was wanted rather than what was needed, without M3 Lees the British may not have had enough tanks for North Africa and without the M3 Trucks the Soviets would've wasted materials building trucks rather than tanks.
