- Articles must be relevant to US politics and contain quality and original content. Social Media adjacent hosts like Substack are allowed, but ONLY if they tie back to a company/subsidiary. No personal or friend group blogs and no self-promotion. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and re-hosted 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 other users of being bots or paid actors.
- No memes, trolling, misinformation, or low-effort posts/comments (including reposts). If you see posts like this that anger you, do not engage. Report, block, and live a happier life than they do. Any slap-fight is subject to comment removals. Fights full of rule violations will result in temporary bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules and use critical thinking when reading, posting, and commenting. Users that repeatedly have 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.

Go fuck yourself with this. I don't fucking deserve the horrors that are like coming for me. My country failed me.
This ignorance and denial of responsibility is exactly why you do.
Please continue loafing in your computer chair spouting vitriol at people pointing out the reality instead of getting off your statistically overweight and under-educated ass to actually be useful. You're totally making my case for me.
I'll remember how much I deserve it on the way to the concentration camp. Sorry I didn't singlehandedly turn the fucking country for you.
You know it's coming yet you lie down meekly. Accepting it months in advance. Remember it clearly.
I haven't given up. You don't fucking know me. I hope you never have to deal with this shit I'm going to have to in the best case scenario.
But of course you won't. You aren't one of those pathetic, worthless pieces of shit who had the misfortune of being born trans in America.
what do you think should be done?
Have I not made it clear? Nothing on american's end. Just keep on upvoting articles filling you with illusions of self-righteousness until that knock on the door finally comes. Fine by me.
Or... you could "Rage, rage against the dying of the light". I'm not holding my breathe for that one though.
it's weird how you are really specific when accusing everyone of behaving in the same non-constructive way but then you're really vague about what you expect people to do.
All your grandiose literary imagery makes it difficult to understand what you're trying to say.
Nah, the downvotes from americans tells me the message was clear. This is a you problem.
you’re close to being right, but you’re applying statistics to individuals…
you can’t take the effect, and make it the cause:
song related to your keen observations
many of us are neither… but generally speaking: yes americans suck…
