Politics
For civil discussion of US politics. Be excellent to each other.
Rule 1: Posts have the following requirements:
▪️ Post articles about the US only
▪️ Title must match the article headline
▪️ Recent (Past 30 Days)
▪️ No Screenshots/links to other social media sites or link shorteners
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. One or two small paragraphs are okay.
Rule 3: Articles based on opinion (unless clearly marked and from a serious publication-No Fox News or equal), misinformation or propaganda will be removed.
Rule 4: Keep it civil. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a jerk. It’s not acceptable to say another user is a jerk. Cussing is fine.
Rule 5: Be excellent to each other. Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, ableist, will be removed.
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7. No conjecture type posts (this could, might, may, etc.). Only factual. If the headline is wrong, clarify within the body. More info

Yes I would love to explain that for you. I often become hyper fixated on certain issues but the fun part is that while I'm fixated on it I learn way more about it. Through yourself and others telling me off I'm beginning to focus in on what can actually be a benefit. I wasn't just trying to be a dumbass. I was looking for ideas
I highly recommend you modify you language in the future then. Your original posts were making statement as though you were authoritative to answer, and that your statements were factual. This immediately makes you lose credibility and a whole segment of people will simply ignore/dismiss/block you because you are clearly wrong and don't appear to have any awareness of it or flexibility to modify your thinking.
Instead of making likely incorrect statements, why not ask questions? Instead of you saying:
Why not ask the question "How much petroleum does it take to make solar panels vs petroleum consumed from traditional power generation sources?"
Ignorance in search of truth is noble. Intentionally stating misinformation to do so is dangerous. What if someone with fewer critical thinking skills reads your post and starts believing that solar panels are worse than burning oil for power? They may act on that and vote down solar power and opt for oil power instead.
