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!

Please understand that I did significant work toward the preservation of witness accounts of the Holocaust myself and I know that it all happened from firsthand observation of the evidence.
I'm having a hard time understanding how it matters that Republicans are bad on the Holocaust when the Democrats are currently the ones funding and arming and abetting a genocide. This is whataboutism at its most vile. I don't want to read another word about revisionism while people in power NOW are allowing it to happen again on their watch. This is bullshit.
This bit of 'both sides' is kinda neat. It looks at how much worse it would be under a republican dictatorship and then says the problem is Democrats.
When you were preserving witness accounts, was that from your office in former Leningrad?
Wow, you are a real [expletive removed]. I produced this movie for David Beckman in Cleveland, OH. Our goal was to preserve the accounts of people whom Steven Spielberg had missed in the community before they passed away because they were in their 90's.

I'm accusing the post of both-sidesism. I think we should violently oppose republicans. I think democrats are currently enabling a genocide.
(edit: removed swears so mods don't upend the conversation)
Congrats. Go make a new post about that topic then. Sounds like you have some content worth discussing vs whatabouting a different topic.
