Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. 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. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.

4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.

7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link.

Yeah we're kind of rigged. Here it's mostly game of voter suppression and gerrymandering the lines.
When it gets closer to our vote you'll find voting centers in red states closing up near Urban areas. You'll find police threatening to lock people up for driving poor voters to the faraway precincts their reassigned to. You'll find voter registration information being lost. And automated systems will magically be down causing hour after hour of wait wherever the poor voters are directed to.
They'll try to get people engaged in third party candidates when we're really only a two-party system.
We're right on the edge of that authoritarian takeover. We're very heavily waited towards conservative voting in many states. Don't get me wrong there are a few states that have some blue gerrymandering going on. But nothing like this stuff happening in Texas and the Carolinas
causing hour after hour of weight wherever the poor voters are directed to.
*wait
Also, it doesn't even end there: my state has even criminalized giving water to those people waiting hours and hours in line, in order to try to dehydrate them into not voting.
I guess passing a law saying only white Republicans can vote would be too on the nose.
I guess his investigation into voter fraud didn't go well
Por que no los dos?
