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!

They hate being told no, they want to ride on the coattails of everyone else's work without contributing anything.
Uh huh sure, it's everyone else that's the problem, couldn't possibly be you. It's not like you're judgemental or anything at all.
I have that right to judge based on historical patterns of liberals. They can't be trusted and more than conservatives. The major difference though is conservatives will tell you to your face who they are, liberals will pose as allies until it's no longer convenient
Man you really don't comprehend the idea that people can change their mind or be convinced or converted, can you?
So your game plan is to, what, be shitty to everyone who isn't the exact level of left you are, and with that tiny fraction of the population you'll somehow set up a revolution and new communist society, even though most people aren't into it and you don't have the power to keep it, especially because you alienated everyone else?
Yeah great plan, WBCommunist
Some can be changed, all the others want to work within the system we have which isn't working. Reform is a surefire path to failure. Government could be 99% Democrat and they would blame that 1% for nothing getting accomplished.
Cool so why are you pushing away people who can be changed? It's dumb.
The ones with questions can be changed, the ones that can't are the ones charging in with all the answers. The ones with the answers are the ones I'll be hostile with. Those are the ones that don't want to change the systems, they demand that we change to be more like them. Their anger stems from the fact that we refuse to move to the right with them
And you'll never know which one is which because you're pushing everyone away from your movement. Good 👏 job 👏
I've been at this a long time. I can always pin point those willing to help and those who want to control the direction and the narrative.
No, you really can't. You're a judgemental prick who purposefully pushes everyone out. This whole time you've been saying that liberals suck, new people shouldn't join leftist gun places, and talked about wide swaths of people negatively. You can't turn around and claim to be judging on individual merits, because you clearly don't. You're worse for communism than McCarthy era propaganda, you give it a bad name.
If they didnt suck they wouldn't be liberals. They are upholding capitalism with the oppression and white supremacy that comes with it. Those that start to question their place in all that and seek guidance are different. Most liberals come into our spaces and demand we submit to their failed ideas. They are not welcome
