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!

We can both learn much more, for one to question politicians and not to take them at face value, they tend to lie.
Left of Bernie Sanders is not fascist, you are mistaken.
I hope you learn to expose yourself to much more diverse ideas, not just what you agree with.
Thanks for the chat!
You're assuming -- incorrectly -- a whole lot about me that I never said.
You also didn't understand the meaning behind why I said you've chosen to support the fascists side.
I'm not here to start fights with internet strangers so I'm not going to poke you further. Let's just both do our best to improve and educate ourselves. Good luck to you. I hope you can figure out what I meant.
Calling people fascists just because they are to the left of you does not make sense.
Yes, we can both keep learning.
I hope we keep exposing ourselves to diverse ideas and not just agree with our way of thinking!
Correct. And I didn't say that. I chose my words carefully and I meant them.
This is why I pointed out that you have not understood the meaning of what I said.
I still sincerely hope you learn how the US political system functions so that you can understand the outcome of your choices.
The younger generations are more engaged in the political field, many of us were brought in by the Bernie Sanders movement.
We perfectly know how the US political system functions. The Democrats and Republicans will keep the working class dying in foreign wars, while making it harder for us to pass M4A and other populist policies.
We all have our own way of dealing with politicians and their policies.
I know we have different means of achieving our goals, yet we are open to learning from people with diverse ideas, so that is a positive!
We will one day be able to come together to fight the class war, where we can help the working class prosper!
Thank you!
