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!

Also some of our community leaders are meeting the CEO of target in person. To discuss targets support of ICE, allowing them to enter target and kidnap employees and citizens. Fucking nazi simp.
Fuck Target. The CEO dgaf
That sounds like a nice time.
TIL:
- A general strike is not clearly protected under U.S. Law
- A general strike for a political purpose could be illegal in some cases
- Government employees are not allowed to strike and could face jail time for doing so.
I am not a lawyer, I was just wondering if I would be charged PTO for striking. This is a summary of what chatGPT told me about a general strike.
Oh wow, someone sees 'general strike ' so they have to enter "why is a general strike a bad idea for Americans" into fucking chatgpt
Can't even come up with your own FUD? I was gonna say it's lazy, but now I'm wondering if you're just not able to do it yourself.
Why would you post that comment? You're worried about PTO while people are getting kidnapped, shot, and deported by the federal government
