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!

MODERATORS
When someone has shitty ideas, you attack the ideas. And, more importantly, you explain how they would actually benefit from UBI or whatever.
When someone openly wants the extermination of a people because they were born the wrong gender or want to enslave women? When they are all but saying they want to rape their political opponent?
They don't count as people anymore. They are monsters and should be treated as such. Anything less is normalizing that. Which is exactly what we did with decades of "We have to show love to the neonazis so they can choose love" bullshit. We went from nazis being the universal evil that you can do any horrible thing to in media to needing to be careful to not portray them TOO negatively out of fear of death threats.
And also? Former neonazis don't talk about how Jamal Walker next door was so nice to them that they just had to reevaluate if replacement theory was maybe a bit wrong. They hit rock bottom. They are abandoned by their families and often have their faces eaten by leopards. And then they decide they want to be in society again and put in the effort to maybe stop calling for the eradication of others and so forth.
So, again, fuck off with that steven universe "We just have to all be friends and love each other". The moment someone's "political" beliefs descend into stealing basic human rights and enslaving others? They don't deserve to live in society anymore.
TL:DR
