Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. 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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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!

Someone needs to write the propaganda leaflets to spread in their barracks I guess.

Can't say it's ever been proven that effective but you'll get a couple of them out before the majority has to be shot to prevent their conquests and murders.

Whatever the way through this is, it does not involve killing our own countrymen.

Fascists aren't my countrymen, and they're not going to give you a choice.

Well, good luck with promoting violence on a public social media website while the fascists have power and control the FBI. To me, that tells me that you're either not in the US (because you're working at an internet research company) and trying to stoke tensions or that you're blind to the actual danger that you are facing because you're too busying trying to dunk on idiots.

The ones in power are the ones you should be mad at, the ones who are creating a far right government that is surrounding itself with private corporate power and dismantling the US Government.

Not the people on Facebook who think that eating ivermectin will protect them against a pandemic.

One group is actively taking steps, every single day, to alter the foundation of our country. One group was useful idiots who's use is over now that they cast their vote.
