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 has always stopped me personally. I am speaking as a person of integrity to a person of none, as a non-AI individual representing myself as opposed to some soi-disant tool speaking for "the lives and safety of my own people," lol. What are you, Sacagawea?
It's funny how the more I go back to what you actually wrote and what you demonstrably said (and I have screenshots too, lol) the angrier you get. Why is that? I didn't write your comments for you. I just read them.
Lol. No. I am telling YOU, personally, to stop hiding behind a proud country and people you do NOT speak for, to propound overt dishonesties to support the exact candidate you say you don't want, in an election that you cannot and will not vote in, even as you alternate between telling me I that should or should not vote in my own.
I am not my country, any more than I am fooled into thinking you are Canada -- and much less what you clearly wanted in the beginning, which was for your reader to believe that you are an American voter.
And here you are, rewriting and reworking your positions yet again. You shift and twist with the slightest wind. Why? Why should I take you seriously, or even take your feigned concern seriously, when the things you assert aren't cohesive to start with nor even remain the same over four retellings?
And tell me again: who's shouting? If my "American reading comprehension" is so inadequate, why do you think personal insults and historical anger and rage at the people in DC will make it better?
Or to put it another way, if I scream at you personally for burning down the White House during the War of 1812, does that validate or invalidate anything else I say?
Of course it does not -- but that is now what YOU are relying upon for authenticity. Lol.
If I tell you to go scream at people in Ottowa (or even more uselessly at Chuckie the Third, lol) would that garner your respect? Be absolutely assured that you have garnered my own in exactly that fashion.
For all my American reading comprehension, I had no problem spotting you as a poser and an angry liar who is now all kinds of upset that you got busted in your lies by someone that actually READ what you wrote. Take your Platner concern-trolling to someone who doesn't actually read.
