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!

I never mentioned the reporter.
I was simply pointing out the absurdity of you crying about leftist tribalism because of downvotes on a video of a guy literally saying he wants to kill all non Trump supporters.
And I was talking about how it’s not unreasonable to believe that the reporter couldn’t hear Marblemouth in a loud environment and wasn’t aware of what he was saying “I agree” too.
Marblemouth can go fuck himself and if that’s what you’re bitching at me about then at least be on the same page.
And you know what? Marblemouth votes. Do you?
Ok, let's get on the same page:
Dipshit in the video: I want to kill all Biden voters.
You: Tribalism on the left is the real problem because I've been downvoted on an anonymous Internet forum.
Do you see the irony in your statement?
I've voted in every major election since I was 18; thanks for asking.
You made it to all the part where I said that without reading the rest of the comment?
I don’t know what to tell you, man.
This is a prime example of how these diversionary tactics work. I’m on your side, but I think this particular incident isn’t worth our time.
People here are looking for a fight. I originally just said, “Sounds like he said ‘Joe Mall’” and I was told to gtfo and then further harangued for explaining myself.
And it does sound like that. The guy can’t fucking talk, but the people he supports are stripping us of our rights because their propaganda has worked on him.
Now you’ve wasted both our time arguing with me about it instead of doing something productive and they’ve won.
