- 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.

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.

You’re disconnected from humanity.
The reason private health care exists is because of greed. Most of the world has moved on to socialized healthcare of some sort. Americans have been programmed their whole lives to say “something is better than nothing.”
You’re blaming the people for not having better politicians? Which people? The people 60 years ago, who really are the ones that set the course we are on?
And you call me misguided? Who guided you into apathetically accepting that greed is the norm?
Killing Brian brought us 0% closer to socialized healthcare. You're arguing with a nonexistent strawman whom supports private healthcare because it sure as fuck ain't me.
0% according to your metric. However, the situation isn’t over. He’s not guilty yet. If you thought that killing a single ceo was going to immediately make healthcare free, then you are mistaken. Things don’t happen overnight.
Every little step counts, we just need more steps.
I’m sorry you don’t see Luigi as a hero. I do. There is not a thing you can say to convince me otherwise. Having you agree with me also means nothing to me. I really don’t care how you see the world.
It won't make healthcare free ever, if its 1 or 100. Only voting can do that.
Actually, voting can’t do it, as we have shown. We need to make being in charge of healthcare a dangerous business to the point where no one fights very hard to get rid of it. We don’t live in a world where people let go of a billion dollar industry because it’s the right thing to do. These people need to be forced out. And seeing one of their own die from greed freaked a lot of them out… not for long, they’re back to their old tricks. Which is why we need more action.
We haven't had 60 DNC since 1979.
When we had 58 in 2010 for only 72 days we got Medicaid Expansion, would have dirt cheap public option like they do in European countries if not for Joe Lieberman caucusing independent. Well, him and every single Republican who voted no.
Try it first then tell me it doesn't work.
It’s okay that we don’t agree.
It's a bit problematic that you disagree with reality, but you're not really my problem so you do you.
It’s a bit problematic that you see reality as the fiction you’ve been programmed to see, but you’re not really my problem so you do you.
