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!

C'mon all you snooty history and politics grad school students... Figure out a way! Show us how smart you guys are and such. Remember in highschool how smart you used to think you were compared to the other kids who brought lunch because they couldn't afford it? Now a bigger asshole is shooting at them. This is your chance! Your big break! Demonstrate your clear intellectual superiority. I'm one of those poor kids and if it wasn't for things I design you wouldn't have that little shiny square of pixels thar you're reading this on. So raise up you mofos! The entire world needs you to grow balls. Bernie went to jail a few times for the good of his community. What are you gonna do? Go join up with the motorcycle and flag guy and show us real leadership.
Otherwise, please oh please let's see motorcycle and Mexican flag guy as a member of Congress. I can imagine him now. Bandana and all. Looking cholo. "Chale! I don't like this bill, I ain't signing nothing!"
If you went to school to be a politician, you owe this society a solution to remove Trump and his entire family and possy from politics. Grow balls and pay it forward!
Talk about airing out your trauma online. This is a cry for help poorly dressed up as a call to arms.
And yet you take the time to write this crap. You have no idea who you are talking to.. don't assume what people are doing outside of your view.
I'm actually right with you. All I'm saying is to get every god dammed politician wanna be out there leading. If they really want to be the next politician that wins our popular vote, this is the time to shine. Bernie was out there putting his neck on the line. You know what I mean? This is it. Like don't come to us 5 years later with orange guy in jail and steal leadership with cheap tricks. Its now, bring it on.
THAT I can agree with.
