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 US politics and contain quality and original content. Social Media adjacent hosts like Substack are allowed, but ONLY if they tie back to a company/subsidiary. No personal or friend group blogs and no self-promotion. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and re-hosted 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 other users of being bots or paid actors.
- No memes, trolling, misinformation, or low-effort posts/comments (including reposts). If you see posts like this that anger you, do not engage. Report, block, and live a happier life than they do. Any slap-fight is subject to comment removals. Fights full of rule violations will result in temporary bans to cool off.
- No manipulating votes via bots or alt accounts; this will result in permanent bans. 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 an account ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be permanently banned.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules and use critical thinking when reading, posting, and commenting. Users that repeatedly have 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. The reason(s) behind moderator action(s) are publicly available through the Modlog.
That's all the rules!

It's bizarre you think "fruitless war" is some sort of neoliberal ideal lol
Every NeoLiberal site I have read supported the Iraq War and still considers Tony Blair to be a good guy and Hillary Clinton's decision to vote for it wise.
It is odd how little you know about the label you have adopted.
Tony Blair is definitely a good guy. I still don't support the Iraq war.
It's a big tent.
He is a war criminal who should be executed for his crimes against humanity.
Lol you're a psychopath
My body count is 0, your Bff has one of 800,000 by some estimates.
I protested that war. What did you do?
No you didn't lol. You cannot convince me you were even approaching adulthood at the time. You have no concept of America at the time. You just stated the war was unpopular in '03 which no one who was conscious at the time would have claimed.
I literally did protest that war tho. You're a liar, and I'm not. It's that simple.
Also your weird fixation on body count is dumb. People do in fact die in wars.
Boring. The protest against the Iraq war was the single biggest one in US history. Every city had one. I didn't make the big one in Washington DC I made a few smaller ones in my area.
I don't believe you protested it. You were probably rambling stuff about the Dixie Chicks and yellow cake uranium and how waterboarding wasn't torture. Sorry Cheney lied to you.
