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!

I got a violation on reddit, on a sub someone posted about how there were 50 genders and he only slept with one, and had symbols for all the genders.
I just posted he seemed to be spending a lot of time thinking about transexuals banging.
Who knew triggering conservatives was against the rules? The ones crying the loudest about being cancelled see themselves as victims and justified in flagging everything that triggers them, that they don't like.
Just like vote theft. Convinced by their influencers the other guys are cheating they feel justified cheating to even the score. Unaware, or not caring that they were never the victims but the perpetrators, projecting on their victims.
Their politicians and media rail against moderation and put pressure on social media when their people get moderated against. Meanwhile the democrats are conservative and want the left cancelled as much as anyone. They have nothing but contempt and spite for the left, and crave the approval of the right. So social media ends up discriminating against the left.
A. Mitchell Palmer, for starters.
Conservatives don’t cancel, in their minds, because being cancelled is inherently unjust according to them. It’s unjust because it pretty much only happens to them as they’re the ones doing heinous shit to people, and they don’t pay attention when someone who isn’t openly conservative gets cancelled for bad behaviour.
They live in the alternate relaity built for them by their media and they lack the ability to pause when they hear something a little crazy and check it out.
