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!

It's always complaining that we don't do anything. When I ask what exactly it is that I should do, it's some answer like, "Take care of your neighbors and help people in need". Your comment is more of the same. What exactly do you want me to do outside of going out and killing people?

I signed up, but I really have to wonder why they need names and zip codes?
Seems like an easy target if that information leaks. Trump's regime would love that list
Dude... They already know the list. Everybody posts their stupid opinions all over public forums, sometimes anonymous, sometimes with verified identities, and likely very rarely with a vpn. It would take very little for "the government" to compile that list with even more intimate details, and I assume that's already been done. They know who you are and where you stand. The idea that we can think, much less act, in anonymity is antiquated.
Done! Thanks!
Spread the word. The only downside to a strike is not enough people striking.
And that when USA during WWII rounded up all the Americans of Japanese descent to put them in prison they still were forced to work.
They want chaos in our streets so they can do martial law. These are tests for the midterms. We're very fortunate to have clear examples of how it works:
Throughout all of this, immigrants and US citizens that are POC are being shot, separated from their families, deported, beat up and stalked (severity not in order). If we do the thing and start having chaos, they will shoot to kill many, many people. They have masks and guns. Again, most of the US hates ICE.
Nationwide martial law is never happening in this country.
"Martial law" is the leftist version of the Rapture. It's never happening, and every time it doesn't the goalposts just move to the future again.
So what exactly are you saying? If you show up with guns to a protest, they'll execute you. What are your other ideas?
You said it yourself. The peaceful protests in Minnesota have continued. They had elections and voted blue, despite the city crawling with ICE and other federal agents.
Continue protesting, calling your reps, and voting. In Minnesota they said "we will crawl over broken glass to vote against the GOP" and they put their money where their mouths were.
And through this all they've given a blueprint to blue cities and states across the country
Stop capitulating in advance because it's the easy way out. Have some agency.
I mean, that's what I'm saying exactly. We agree then, lol.
Then my apologies if I misinterpreted you. I'm just sick of doomers using "all is lost" as an excuse to sit on their asses and refuse to take any action, and as a politically active individual it really rustles my jimmies.
Having foreign actors try and get us to bring guns and shoot ICE rustles my jimmies. They are trying to cause chaos.
Go to your local congress person and demand they publicly announce Trump’s attempt to take over the country.
And then don’t leave until they do it. You might get arrested, but you can get arrested now or die in a concentration camp later. It’s your choice.
Kill all humans?
I'm going to need you to prove you aren't a robot.
You're upset that others won't fix your problems for you?
Liberals think for a criticism to be valid, you owe them an solution to the problem you identify.
Which is of course absurd.
And I committed the cardinal sin of being a foreigner – in order to criticise the US I apparently need to be able to hand-feed them a solution to the mess they themselves created
A complaint can be both valid and unproductive at the same time
You can't read. If you have a suggestion as to how I can do my part to fix this, I'll not only listen, I'll do it.
Ah, so you're upset that others won't tell you how to fix your problems? Vastly different, yes
You're being asinine. I bet you would tell the people in Gaza and Palestine to solve their own problems too.
Are you even from the US? If so, what are you doing other than being bothersome online?? Because it seems like you're a Russian troll.
25% to 30% of social media is astroturf, according to studies I've heard. Maybe not a Russian troll, but certainly paid for by fascists. Don't let them bother you. They hate their lives sitting in their tiny cubicle telling lies for a meager wage.
Thank you, friendly ally.
"Certainly paid for by fascists", lol.
How dare I say that Americans should fix their own fucking problems instead of whining about how everybody is being mean and not telling them how to fix them
Certainly a Russian troll for suggesting you Americans get your own shit together instead of whining that the rest of the world won't tell you how to fix things.
Because Gaza and Palestine are definitely the same as the US. Excellent analogy, only something an American could have come up with – Israel committing genocide in Gaza is the same as Americans voting for fascists
I wonder, do you think you're providing value here?
I don't think you're paid-for, because I'm convinced of your self-righteousness. Your condescension is too natural to be fake.
But let me ask you: does whining about people whining make you better than them, or worse? What's your goal?
