The intent is for this community to be an area for open & respectful discussion on current political issues, news & events, and that means we all have a responsibility to be open, honest, and sincere. We place as much emphasis on good content as good behavior, but the latter is more important if we want to ensure this community remains healthy and vibrant.

Commentary Rules
- Don’t be a jerk or do anything to prevent honest discussion.
- Stay on topic.
- Don’t criticize the person, criticize the argument.

last I checked they were marching on every major city in the united states during the spring and summer of an election year, when everything hung in the balance, calling the incumbent democrat president "genocide joe" vowing not to vote for him, while chanting "from the river to the sea", which may have had the effect of not only freaking out middle america, but all of it. it sure as fuck suppressed the democratic vote. and now we have trump again. seems there are no left wing infulencuals or intellectuals left, they all decided to turn in their liberal bonafides to protest jews in favor of islamofascist terrorist. you can't make this shit up. the jokes write themselves.
