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!

Probably it is more what you wanted to hear, or coaxed out of them after being insufferable to them. Like you are being now.
I wish blocking an instance would also block all its users for me.
On connect, if you block an instance, all messages from users from that instance are blocked out by a kind of spoiler tag. 'this post was hidden due to a ban of instance x'.
You can click to open the message if you feel up to it (eg non political topics)
Very useful feature
Being pissed off is fine though. And holding your party brass to account is good in politics.. required even.
It's the little fascists like the user I responded to that make it impossible to unify the left. If you have little wannabe Castro's, Zedongs and Khameini's in your ranks, the cure may be as bad as the ailment.
If you think Castro is worse than Harris, you've been successfully duped by your masters.
Yeah.. keep going.. read the article again and keep going. It's almost as if your goal is chaos and decent.
What?! ... Oh LLM.. makes sense.
luckily, you also have the ability to block individual users! here, I'll show you
Excellent! 👍
Wow.
Why? These .ml left wing nut jobs do the same as what the article is about. Sow division and see centrists and moderate left as the enemy.. if you are not with us.... The article spells it out.... Keep infighting at your own peril... And what did the user do... Apparently he's not afraid of the consequences Thalmann faced, that's probably because the chaos is what his boss wants.
The German history it gives is a massive distortion of the reality of liberals giving Hitler power. I can copy one of the explanations for you if it is required.
