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!

DudI, you are as predictable as they come. I could fish for Crab just by posting ANYTHING critical of the “far left” propagandists.
And- I don’t pretend, kiddo…
They are here in DROVES telling people not to vote. And you know this. You’ve been involved in some of the discussions where these people post their shit-take comments. So what’s your angle here?
You say you’re voting for Biden, yet protect the propagandists that are seemingly trying to get Trump elected?

You're admitting to trolling here. The scare quotes around far left are another attempt to tie anyone to your left to the worst of the right, with no evidence at all.
Ok. If you prefer I say that you're lying about everyone to your left in your constant attempts to silence criticism, I can do that. Demeaning pet name noted.
Not just droves, all-caps DROVES, even. Like Republicans call the brown people they hate on the spurious grounds that they're here to steal their jobs. What do you suppose these all-caps DROVES are here to steal? Oh, maybe since they all became Russians the instant they disagreed with you about anything at all, they're here to steal your precious bodily fluids.
I criticize people to my right. You should try it.
Yes, I am.
I cannot protect the people you call propagandists from anything. And if they're trying to get Trump elected, they're going about it pretty badly. This is a small fledgling platform, full of centrists who are so firmly entrenched in their positions that they imagine that anyone to their left is a scary foreigner, or feign such paranoia in an attempt to silence criticism of their wing of the party, and to a lesser extent Biden and Netanyahu. Propaganda would see a piss-poor return on investment here.
I’m not admitting to anything. I’m simply stating that you predictably show up any time someone is critical of your bullshit.
And when have I tried to silence criticism by suggesting people vote? Let’s see some evidence of your accusation for once.
Dude… you’re a well know misinformation troll here. The modlogs prove it and all you do is derail the topic into bullshit rhetoric.
I’m done discussing your bad faith bullshit.
Already did. It was certainly more overt than what others have been banned for.
When you call any and all criticism of Democrats from the left (and only ever the left) bullshit, you get pushback from people who criticize Democrats from the left. Imagine that.
You don't. You try to silence criticism by falsely claiming that those to your left are propagandists trying to get Trump to win, with no evidence whatsoever. Any other claims I didn't make that you want to demand proof of?
I stand by the only statement I've made that has ever been removed as misinformation. I can defend it no further here without going against the moderation team, and you're taking advantage of that. I invite anyone to read the modlog and see what was removed and judge for themselves if it rose to the level of misinformation. Anyone with questions about it can message me, but I will not discuss it further in this community in accordance with the mods' decision.
You'll never be done calling anything to your left and only your left bad faith. Remember to vote for Biden.
Didn’t read any of that, but you go ahead and continue having this discussion all on your own.
I’m not going to block you, but I am going to ignore you. It’s not worth it.
Yes, that is how you reach conclusions.
