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!

As a United States dissident fuck this country
Only goal in this country has been oppression of citizens so as to have a stock of warm bodies to fill the factories, restaurants, ecectera since the start
Same reason Republicans got Roe v Wade overturned and the same reason Democrats never defended it
Also same reason neither party has pushed for living wages and of course students have to go especially the college taught ones because they might disrupt the system with all that new found knowledge
Pollution is also kept high because it breeds low class pull up by your own bootstraps bubba spitting rednecks that will help continue the narrative of the system as well as provide a stable slave labor workforce
Education funding is kept at abysmally low levels for the same reasons
Constant crapper drain that for the citizens never ends but constantly churns out products for consumption for the small population actually running things
Eventually it be the same as that short story by the Chinese author that is about the last capitalist
About a dude that buys everything on the planet including air which he generously sells back to all the citizens who are unable to afford to go outside because they don't own the land or air as well as selling other resources which no one can go without with police being used to protect the interests/property of the last capitalist
Eventually the benevolent capitalist builds a space ship very economically including cryotubes because he did not include enough air or air makers for the ship and proceeds to evict everyone off his planet earth
