Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. 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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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!

Where are all the free speech warriors? Shouldn't they be blocking freeways with trucks and going on about the 'deep state' and new world order right about now? And what about the king 'free speech absolutionist' and all of his bootlickers? Shouldn't they be defending the values that they apparently care so deeply about right about now? Where's the rioting on twitter?

If you were a fresh faced, bright eyed gen Zer straight out of school that got caught up in and fooled by this bullshit, I could maybe forgive you if you actually used your own brains for once and your own eyes to see these hypocrites, liars and idiots in action and to see what they're really made of and all about.

Anyone older than gen Z can get fucked though because no one older than 25 has an excuse to have not seen these people for what they really are. Anyone that grew up with these clowns calling everything from Ninja Turtles to Pokemon evil and trying to ban rap music and heavy metal should've been able to see from a mile away that they just swapped the word 'evil' for 'woke'. Anyone older than 25 that fell for this must've been a piece of shit to begin with.
