Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. 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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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’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.

I’m simply stating that you predictably show up any time someone is critical of your bullshit.

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.

And when have I tried to silence criticism by suggesting people vote?

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?

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 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.

I’m done discussing your bad faith bullshit.

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.
