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!

Many people don't listen to the main lyrics or understand the meaning of songs, but just like the chorus.
"Born in the USA" is another example.
a team is one your comment just reminded me of, thanks.
And some mandatory songs that always came up that my memory serves... semi charmed life by third eye blind, hey ya by outcast, every breath you take by the police, escape (Pina colada song) by Rupert Holmes, macarena ...
Ok I got bored trying to remember them all if anyone wants to add ..
"Hook" by Blues Traveller. "Pumped Up Kicks" by Foster the People.
Which was used for NJ in the roll call. I laughed a bit.
It's questionable there, but it's a hell of a song so they could be earnestly saying Springsteen was a NJ treasure for writing a fantastic protest song. Buuuut... they probably just liked the assumed pride of the chorus.
Or Paul Ryan and anything by RAtM.
AMERICAN WOMAN
Which is also a song by a Canadian band 😅
Same as the Magaites dancing to Killing In The Name a while back during the BLM protests. It was obvious that the only part of the song they cared about was "Fuck you I won't do what you tell me"
I'd love to hear one of them answer who were the "forces" that burn crosses. Probably some sort of imaginary vaccine cop.
