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!

Sounds like you should really just block me then, since I get under your skin that much. Then you wouldn't have to see my posts or my comments or put up with my "freakouts" and "weird defensiveness."
So why haven't you?
Because you don’t matter enough to bother blocking and I find your schtick to be somewhat amusing in how transparent it is.
Ohhhh, ok ok ok so I'm important enough to argue with and told how I suffer from freakouts and weird defensiveness, but it doesn't bother you enough to actually block me.
Hmmm, sounds like the issue may be on your end then. So ya have no reason to be upset since you find me "somewhat amusing"! See? Yay!
Because if you don't wanna spend 3 seconds to block me, then I guess you're fine seeing what I have to say.
Oh man, you are really feeding into the whole "main character syndrome" thing that ya just accused me of having. I mean, I guess I am a main character since after all that you have said about me STILL doesn't make you want to block me.
This is awesome. Thank you for the ego boost!
What gave you any idea I was upset? You’d have to matter for me to be upset and we’ve already addressed that issue. You just asked why I said you were weirdly defensive and here you are showing time and again why that’s such an apt description. You really can’t help yourself, can you? It would add to the amusement if it didn’t have such an undercurrent of need to it. You’re trying so hard and all it does is make you seem desperate and weird.
At this point, any additional reply you make will just be more obvious trolling so I won’t bother to reply. You see, now you’re just becoming boring.
But not so boring that you would block me, so I'm still happy! :)
How so?
