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!

Aaaahhh, I want to hit his ugly face so bad my hands are itching. I want to see teeth flying out of his mouth, I want to see him cry.
Right, violence is never the answer, but rarely are men quite as deserving of a beating as this piece of shit.
Violence never solves problems, it only replaces them with new ones. However, at certain times in human history, violence has been used to replace an unsolvable problem with several solvable ones.
"violence is never the answer" - German people after Night of the Long Knives.
So you’re saying beat the shit out of him and decide if it was a good idea afterwards?
Why do we need to wait to know that violence against fascists is the appropriate response?
They killed over 100 million people the last time we didn't give them the treatment they deserved. Do they have to kill billions before we learn the lesson?
That’s exactly what they’re doing by authorizing logging of 200M acres of US protected forests.
This sort of thinking makes me "sound like a teenager" because I'm "trying to be Edgy"
Lol no, anyone who genuinely thinks violence will not be needed because we will simply vote soon and it'll all be over is either sticking their head in the sand, naive as fuck, or their lifestyle depends on things continuing as they are and stand to benefit from it.
Like holy shit go to the 1800s and tell all the slaves if they want real change they need to keep their heads down and quietly protest in the back where nobody can see them. Similar vibes.
I am of this frame of mind.
Violence is the only alternative to fascism. You can't negotiate with people who only negotiate in bad faith. The only end to fascism is to end fascists.
Violence solves nothing, as long as you ignore pretty much the entirety of human history.
A random man met in texas once told me: "unlike what your mommy told you, violence solves things".
