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!

When did I say slavery didn’t exist?
That doesn’t say slavery doesn’t exist, I know the American school system sucks but learn to read
Oh so you can’t handle being wrong
Saying the war wasn’t over slavery isn’t slavery denial, anyone who ever took a history class on it would have that stance. That’s why it’s only racists that say that with their whole “the south will rise again” mantra
You can’t handle being wrong because when you claimed I said slavery never existed you kept doubling down on it
Idiots like you make me want to kill myself, I thought this site would have less but everywhere you go it’s just more and more conservatives who can only ever repeat what they were told because their brains don’t know how to think
Pay attention at all to the world around you
Conservatives will take Leftist positions to garner support. Trump advocated for more social policies than any candidate, but never implemented them
If you’re actually a leftist (just very stupid for one) then try to apply some form of rationality to your life
I would like to think people that dumb can only be conservative because it shows an absence of thinking skills
Oh you’re confused, I have critical thinking. That’s why I don’t share your conservative views
My view of the Confederacy is a lot worse than yours because you think it was just about slavery and that everything else was jolly
You’re a confederate apologist and have no idea about right or wrong because you just parrot what you hear rather than thinking at all.
Lol what a stupid threat, if I was at all afraid of being blocked then how is that any different than being blocked?
You should block me because you possess no ability to think.
I don’t care how many of you are wrong
Go to Trump rally and say Biden won, you’ll get the same result
You’re a confederate apologist because your stance is “if it weren’t for slavery then they’d be good”
Being from the south makes sense though
When Biden wins again, if there is another civil war it’s nice to know you’ll say it’s because he stole the election “because that’s what the rebels said it was about “
