Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. 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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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!

Keep being active everyone and get more people doing!! Power to the people!!!! The more of UE doing the stronger we all are!!

Also let's round up what the Alt-Right and Alt-Left establishment government did not take into account:

  • People from Right AND millions of Left nationwide in USA carry all kinds of firearms (The alt-left establishment pushes hard to remove firearms but decent amount of people do not support that)
  • Plenty of Left-leaning people vote right in Ruby red and purple states to not be ostracized so almost any Ruby red state can flip
  • They underestimate the rage people have had boiling for so many decades from not getting our needs meet
  • They did not expect a united resistance to all that they are doing back then to now from people all over world and here
  • If they really wanna continue this a stupid game they will really FAFO in every way imaginable!!

The goal of all of us real people who care on left and right here in USA is to unite to take back our country and primary all the traitors from alt-left and alt-right establishment in office/upcoming candidates.

Also after this is all resolved we need to promote things that encourage dialogue between sides and gets people to meet each other halfway way more. Also to go back to where left and right parties were before Reagan instead of the far far right it is leaned into right now. Also reinstating good things we had before

This is a good wakeup call to get younger candidates to get elected too since they are way less likely to be compromised and have personal experience with failure of the system

We outnumber them by millions in people and brainpower here and worldwide. Just all of us doing makes us all win. 99% wins vs 1% every time when people just show up.

There is no such thing as the alt-left.

Democrats are not “alt-left”. Honestly you’re coming across as a right whinger trying to pretend it’s a both sides thing and not the alt-right being straight up modern day Nazis.
