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!

There's another new one that is really good called if books could kill. It isnt cracked ppl tho. Actually I remember that site before it got REALLY bad (I mean not sucked) and I remember a lot of commenters before they disabled comments complaining that the articles are too liberal lmao. Lots of "I come here for jokes not politics!!!"
I actually wrote a really long reply to the rest of your post on why it isn't really possible for the left to have the same impact as the alt right media.
But then I accidentally lost it. I'm taking it as a sign that I would have bored everyone into a coma and not to try to recreate it lol
I feel like I’ve heard of that one and I’ll happily check it out so thanks for the rec. I love the cracked alum but I definitely want to diversify.
And I definitely remember the comments on old cracked articles being like that. But I do still hold a lot of the writers from that time in high regard.
Swaims video game podcast is good btw, I’d love Soren to start a show too
Please do! And I think it's one of those podcasts where you can jump in anywhere that interests you, they don't do any friendly rambling chat before either the whole runtime is dedicated just to discussing that book.
I've loved those cracked authors for so long, used to read daily for years and a big credit why I feel like I know so much random shit. I wish the site itself wasn't now annoyingly unusable I'd like to browse and read some of the OG articles.
Hey! Just popping in to tell you that Soren and Daniel have a podcast together called Quick Question, and it's really quite great.
Well that is certainly welcome news! Thank you!
