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!

Because I want that. You seem to be under impression that we must prove something to be right, or in general that we must do things in conversations. No.
You've been spending too much time around conservatives.
Quite the opposite, especially regarding the point that I don't need to prove anything to everybody capable of typing, that was impressed on me by definitely not a conservative.
Well you're definitely slinging a bunch of bullshit around without any proof so why not just STFU? When you are getting massive downvotes for your incorrect claims you double-down and start calling names?! This is a clear sign of somebody who isn't worth listening to or their ideas/opinions worth regarding.
You could make the first step providing proof for your weird opinions.
This is orthogonal to correctness.
I'm just working on my social problems, which stem from caring too much what people think. This may be counterproductive toward ends you imagine, of course, but those are obviously not all.
I frankly forgot what this started with, but likely another leftist type thinking that he is entitled to insulting his opponents and getting polite responses.
So at some point here some comment wasn't worth my answer, but I'd be wrong to care about that now.
