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!

Lmao cope and seethe some more, Americunt. Maybe choke on some burgers while at your local school shooting while you're at it.
Your country fucking sucks. Deal with it lmao. It's not anyone else's problem but your own. So keep coping.
"lol. I'm so detached and yet bemused. Lmao. Lmao look how cool I am lmao lmao"
Boy if you don't get off the computer
Wow.
Yeah, again we know our country sucks. What else do you have? Because if you seriously think that "It's not anyone else's problem" then, have I got news for you
Certainly isn't my problem. The American ego that has been flaunting sole victory over the axis in world war two, discrediting valid economic models such as democratic socialism, placing military bases throughout the world... You guys have been so immensely egocentric and egomaniac that this is incredibly cathartic to see.
Can't wait for your whole fucking cardboard empire to crumble and rot like it fucking deserves. You're no better than anyone else. In fact you are way way worse. Welcome to your personal "shithole".
Okay, you seem to believe that every American is somehow perfectly reflected by its government, which is reductive but I get it, you're upset.
But if you live on planet Earth, whether or not it suits you, it absolutely IS your problem. My government is an extractive, imperialist bully. My government's military is single largest institutional consumer of fossil fuels and biggest single institutional emitter of greenhouse gases. My government has no qualms about making it your problem.
Pretending it's not your problem is like pretending the neighbor's house on fire isn't your problem. You can get away with that for a while, but eventually you'll burn too.
