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!

Shiiiiiiiit I did not know, I'll update my post. Thank you for the info.
You're good, a lot of people don't know it is. This is why I volunteer my range for blazing sword vs the SRA.
Nah, I'm well. You're good. You're helping make marginilized people safer.Thank you.
Do tell how the SRA is "tankie".
You're joking right? The subreddit is heavily tankie and the forums before they took them offline where also tankie. I'm sure there are some people who aren't like that, that are members of the SRA, but the majority is super tankie. Just look at their mission statement, it's even got anti-capitalist as part of their mission.
No, why would I be joking? What's the joke? Seriously, can we dive into this? What about my comment made you think I was trying to be funny?
You're basing your opinion of a leftist org entirely on your personal internet experiences. Basing your opinion of an organization on internet experience vibes is not wise.
If you think being anti capitalist is synonymous with being a tankie, then you've done a better job discrediting yourself than I ever could have.
The SRA takes great pains to communicate the idea that they are a broad coalition of queen folks, people of color, anarchists, marxists, maoists, marxist-leninists, etc... united in the belief of anti capitalism. Their whole shtick is that any and all leftists can join united under the idea of learning about guns - regardless of individual philosophy. The fact that youre lobbing around the word "tankie" at zero hour of the fascist descent, in combination with equating "tankie" with anticapitalism, in combination with spewing FUD about one of the most successful and inclusive leftists gun rights orgs, makes it pretty clear that youre just one of the typical radlibs who aren't ready to commit to reckoning with the United States' burgeoning fascism.
Thanks for proving my point... nothing like an .ml tankie to come swooping in and drop some hot ass garbage.
PS. You can go through my comments, I'm a hardcore 2a guy who's volunteered time with the pink pistols via my firearms and my own range, before blazing sword and they combined. The fact that you're acting like those of us who don't like fascist in any form are ok with swapping right wing fascist with you tankies version of authoritarianism is just hilarious.
Radlib lol first time I've heard that one.
