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!

I'm simply responding to what you wrote.

No, you're responding to what your want to argue against instead of what is actually being said. I'm not going to continue repeating myself to someone who has no intention of listening.

How do you implement a "different process" without doing away with the one you have? Are you talking about making some minor adjustments now...or coming up with something else entirely?

You immediately contradict yourself here. "Can't change anything without throwing away everything. Unless you're talking about making changes that is."

Your Nobel prize awaits.

"You're not allowed to point out a flawed system unless you have a perfect solution! 'better' is not good enough if it's not perfect! To do otherwise must mean you're advocating for anarchy!"

Man, I'm not the one contradicting myself here. You are just talking in circles now...and still saying nothing.

[–] CileTheSane@lemmy.ca 1 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

I've said plenty and you haven't refuted any of it. I'm not repeating myself for you again.

[–] Archangel1313@lemmy.ca 1 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

Refute what, man? The only thing you keep repeating, is that I missed your point, without clarifying how? So, I keep asking you for more information, and you don't provide any.

[–] CileTheSane@lemmy.ca 1 points 3 hours ago

I have repeated my point plenty, you made it clear you don't listen. Reread my posts and try again.
