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!

Can we start using "Vichy" to describe any Democrats who collaborate with the fascists?
im okay just calling it the vichy party now.
I don't believe it applies to the entire party. There were Democrats (mostly in the House) who are actually opposing the fascists. The problem is that none of them are in leadership and the Vichy leadership is actively fighting the few Democrats who are trying to oppose the fascists rather than fighting the fascists.
and there were people in vichy france who opposed the nazis. there were people in germany, even!
they're rare. the vichy party's mouth is closed around fascist cock.
You folks in the US literally need to Nuke all your parties and start up from scratch...
Maybe throw in a labour party for measure
I second this.
"Quisling" is another good one
I feel like neither of these are good. Like if I called you a troglodyte. Do you really care. It almost makes me look dumber for not having the social awareness to make a decent burn. Remember you're trying to find something that makes them mad, not something that lubes up the dicks of the lefty beside you. Both is preferred but at a minimum you need something that actually gets their attention. Anything that anyone needs context or prior information is not good. Look at every single one the republicans used. Everybody understood it immediately. Some were legit catchy like Reeeeeeeeeeeeee super effective.
Calling anyone a Rosenstrasse or Reichsdeutsch is just head up our own asses level of stupidity. It lacks any kind of punch. Avoid 10 cent words. Use stuff that a grade 3 student would understand.
The only insult which actually bothered Republicans in recent years was "weird".
