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!

This is the weakest form of "vandalism" I've ever seen. I wouldn't even call it that. Might as well call junkmail vandalism at this point.
yet, somehow, the trump admin with get the fbi to investigate it as terrorism
Democrats are so disappointing
“Hate has no place in our communities, and the New York State Democratic Party unequivocally condemns this shameful and inappropriate act,” the statement said. “We encourage New Yorkers across the political spectrum to denounce hate in all its forms.”
If you want to denounce hate maybe focus on the nazi-like behavior instead of the extremely mild "vandalism" of pointing that out. I think it was just signs taped, so that's all of five minutes to clean up.
To be clear, Republicans are the worst. The Democrats just... disappoint.
Isn't this "vandalism" not denouncing hate?
They need to work on their doublespeak. Maybe something like:
The Democratic Party is appalled by the sad state of our nation, that individuals would need to resort to such charged and shocking language. We can do better. Democrats can do better. Americans can do better. We are better than this. Use your voice, use your wallet, use your influence to fight the wave of hatred that has enveloped our free and lawful nation.
Hey that's pretty good. If you do it just right, you can make it look like a condemnation while also supporting it and calling for stochastic anti-nazi violence.
In 2018, someone fired six bullets into the Albany Democratic Party headquarters' front window. I don't recall a single Republican denouncing the act.
They were busy at the time.
Yeah, reloading.
First, I must confess that over the past few years I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro’s great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen’s Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to “order” than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says: “I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I cannot agree with your methods of direct action”; who paternalistically believes he can set the timetable for another man’s freedom; who lives by a mythical concept of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait for a “more convenient season.” Shallow understanding from people of good will is more frustrating than absolute misunderstanding from people of ill will. Lukewarm acceptance is much more bewildering than outright rejection.

Protip: if you're going to vandalize Nazi shit, write out "Nazi" instead of a swastika to differentiate from pro-Nazi graffiti
To be fair, the "vandals" were just doing the Republicans a favor by taping the correct symbol to their door.
Straight up: It wasn't actually vandalism. Like handing out Russian flags at a conservative event:
So like Martin Luther the Godfather of Protentantism vandalised the church in Wittenberg with his 95 theses in 1517? Vandalism by pinning the truth to a door?
While Republicans vandalize the US constitution?
Funny wording in my opinion.
Perfect.
Was this vandalism or just rebranding?
This is TERRORISM!
-People who are Deporting NON CRIMINAL AMERICAN CITIZENS to a Concentration Camp in El Salvador WITHOUT Due Process or way to Return them Home!
A concentration camp whose bosses have repeatedly said that no one ever gets out except in a coffin. The USA is kidnapping innocent people off the street and sending them to death camps.
The USA is kidnapping innocent people off the street and sending them to death camps.
Always have been. Now we're doing it in broad daylight to our own citizens.
