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.

Wait but some shitlib just told me it was my fault because I criticized the DNC
They told you it was your fault because the both sides bullshit you spread absolutely played a role in electing trump.
Saying "sHiTlIb" is the quickest way to tell everyone you've nothing of value to add so next time just make a post with the text "sHiTlIb".
Shitlibs won't fix these problems
Thank you for using that term.
Like a lot of things, when it's used unironically, it's a great shorthand for others to make use of and make some decisions. Kind of like when you see someone wearing a redcap unironically.
You're just butthurt because you feel seen
A lot of people seem to agree that use of that term makes one an idiot with nothing of value to say. Having seen your past writings, nothing's challenging that here for me.
🙄 Way to shift focus away from the actual problem
Yes how dare me change the subject... To that of the comment you stuck your uneducated nose into.
Again, thank you for confirming your ignorance of the basics by using that term.

Yeah if you keep saying it it'll come true and you'll suddenly be smarter

Yet they're closer to fixing it than you
This is the single dumbest hot take I’ve heard so far. Congrats
Here's a tip: if you say incredibly dumb shit, run a dumb com with terrible, hideous memes you've made, and spew hateful garbage, maybe consider not making it so easy to link that stuff to your IRL accounts and identity.
I’m guessing this is some kind of troll account.
Unbelievably, this is a real person and he's made himself incredibly doxxable because he thinks this is facebook
Are you off your meds, dawg? I hate the gubment and gubment accessories, everything else is noise created to keep the gubment in power.
It takes going off meds to realize a user has put all their info online? Jesus I need some of the meds you speak about since they sound like some good shit, if they make people that impaired.
Libs downvoting cause they don't like when they get called out for being morons who do nothing other than support people that want a pre-Trump status quo.
"Back to brunch" is their MO
