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!

Right now! What are YOU waiting for?
Oh yeah, your life isn't actually that bad. At least not bad enough to throw it away to become some kind of martyr that will be forgotten after 3 months (how long has it been since that one guy shot a CEO? 2 months and almost completely out of the news cycle?)
The sad (SAD) truth is that people on the internet LOVE to convince themselves that they are oppressed. The "resistance" they claim they are putting up (which is really just posting the lamest takes on social media) gets their cortisol 'a-flowin!
In reality, they would NEVER give up their lifestyle to make any of the changes they claim they want to see. That is, unless they can whip up enough people to fill in the front line first, then they can continue their comfortable online "resistance" without any risk.
Like I said: you aren't oppressed.
Are you a propaganda agent of the state sent to make sure no one ever gets the idea the government is undefeatable? If you aren't, well, how sad.
There's the lame take I was talking about! Way to prove the point!
I want to see some change. REAL change! There is a uni-party that DOES NOT want that kind of change, and the majority of internet people vote for them time and time again.
Stop fooling yourself.
Real change? You voted for it and now you have a bunch of White Christian neo-Nazis representing the USA. My crusade comment was referring to the Jerusalem Cross tattoo the drunk talk show host likes to display. If you really want change, get ready to lead the charge when the US goes to war against Iran. I earned my DD214 and saw enough life changing moments.
