politics
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!

LOL - I haven't had jack handed to me. I worked for all of it. And no, I don't think people are over-reacting to fascism, they are reacting in ways that are completely ineffective.
Your entire life is laid out on google. Everything is public information. I very much disagree that you’ve had it rough.
I never said I had it rough, I said I worked for everything I have, there's a difference. 😜 I've come a long way since going broke in 2002. LOL.
Right, you had it easy. Thus, “handed to you.” I didn’t say you never had to be employed. Glad we got that sorted.
"Handed to me" implies some kind of nepotism, that I somehow didn't earn what I have done which is, frankly, a little bit offensive.
I don't know if you remember this, but back when Reddit pretended to care about such things, they made a filing with the FCC on Net Neutrality, why it was so important and so on.
They wanted submissions to include, I drew on my experience and wrote up my opinion, it was one of thirteen or so they included with their FCC filing.
