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!

Twitter is dead. It’s called X. You are an Xer
Tell ya what: the day Elon accepts his trans daughter for who she is will be the day Twitter officially dies and is reborn X. Until then, it’s Twitter.
Just dead naming Twitter to get a rise is 33% of the reason I still do it.
The other 66% is fuck musk, and the remaining one percent is i just can't be bothered...
Prompted me to think of it. I'm like 65% can't be bothered and 35% fuck Musk, Twitter is a welfare program for far right attention whores.
You are doing more to keep that network propped up by accommodating the lie that people who are still on that hateful network keep telling themselves. “It’s still Twitter. I’m not a member of X!” No, Twitter is dead.
Just call it X and don’t let them hide the support they are giving Musk.
The name is just a name. Whatever you call it won't change what people think of it, why people use it, or the fact that it's a social media platform for the brain dead.
That’s being too nice to the people still propping up his hateful network.
It’s X. Delete your account if you don’t want the Musk association.
Calling it Twitter does more to keep that network alive.
I don't even know how to respond... Like when a child calls you a do do head, or a libtard. I'm not offended by you, I'm embarrassed for you.
It's called Xitter
pronounced "shzitter"
Nope. That’s being too generous to the cowards still on the network. Twitter is dead and it’s nothing but Musk’s X.
You think that because you're not pronouncing it properly.
And just like Adobe wanting people to stop using "Photoshop" as a verb, the Segway changing cities as we know them, calm political discord, or me ever calling that shit "X": https://imgflip.com/s/meme/Its-Not-Going-To-Happen.jpg
Or stop accommodating the last few asshats on that network that are still tricking themselves into believing it’s the old Twitter.
Call it X to everyone that uses it. Don’t let them hide or deny the fact that they are supporting Musk.
No one is hiding it, stop trying to police how people refer to it.
