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!

You think they have the presidential candidate do a mic check? How would a lack of attendance during a q and a be any better? Sounds like you're "just asking questions" without stating your point.
Ok let's get combative about it? There's literally zero fucking context, you're making assumptions based on an obvious bias..
Like I said, fuck this guy. But I've noticed a lot of left leaning conservative bashing shit on here is out of context and that helps literally fucking nobody. It makes you look fucking stupid.
Be factual, provide irrefutable context, bash away, fuck em.
Here's a picture of a shitty person with no additional info! Let's make shit up to fit our narrative! Oh look, somebody asked a question to clarify the picture?! They must be against me! Childish..
The left/liberals always have to provide evidence and the right knows this and constantly force them to give more and more facts, always asking for more. Liberals feel compelled to comply. This is a trap set by right wingers to stifle meaningful discussion because you will be constantly on the defense.
Yet the right/conservatives are not bound by this and get away with baseless lies and it is useless to ask for evidence, you will either get nothing or false facts.
Wait wait wait, let's not increase the scope of this conversation to include all politics. Look at this objectively.
If I posted a photo of one person in the middle of NYC and captioned it with "only 1 person alive in all of NYC" would you not propose what I am?
You guys seem to immediately fall into this "itS thE rIgHt nOt tHe lEft" bullshit and throw everything into a binary thought. First off, question fucking everything. Think for yourself. View each peice of information objectively. Think critically.
Y'all are getting mad at me for thinking with reason and not falling into the blind hate of the enemy...
CamelCase’ing nonsense none said here, using ya’ll to point at ‘the left’, do your own research tropes.
Oh, I’m using my critical thought, you just don’t like what is being said and pointed out.
I stand by my post on forcing ‘the left’ to keep digging. Keep asking for more. Keep semi-engaging while you have no outcome other then dwindling the points made into nothingness.
I will not engage with you anymore after this post as I will not be lured into a deceitful trap.
I suggest you find some republican or trump supporter (but I repeat myself) and try to have a civil and meaningful discussion where you challenge their views on politics where you ask for evidence, repeatedly. I fear that discussion will be solo though. Good luck.
Lol so because one person was mean to you, you're justified in being mean to somebody else. Got it.
I'm sorry I'm not rabidly foaming at the mouth for information that fits my narrative.
You really should seek out people who don't see things exactly your way and learn how to undo whatever damage* you've done to yourself.
Good day sir.
