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.

- 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.

I don't fucking care what happens in Ukraine
Your previous posts suggest the opposite is true. I think you need to make up your mind.
How so? I've repeatedly argued that it isn't our fucking problem what happens there.
That sure sounds like you care. Not liking something doesn't mean you don't care about it.
So again, I think you need to make up your mind.
EDIT: Wow. They went through my post history and downvoted every post. Hilarious.
What party is my party?
Given your extensive history, the democrats
The history you went through and petulantly downvoted every post in? Well I have bad news for you, I'm a socialist. I've made no secret of that. Maybe while you're downvoting all of those posts you could take that in.
Given your interactions here, I see little value in trying to talk to you elsewhere
You saw enough value to downvote all my posts in my post history. Including the one where I said I was of below-average intelligence, so I appreciate it.
Downvoting isn't a measure of agree/disagree, it's a measure of whether people think the content is a valuable contribution, of which I don't believe you make
I thought you saw little value in talking to me.
I guess that was a lie.
Don't forget to downvote this post.
I see value in correcting your false statements about me for everyone else present. Not because i think you'll genuinely be able to ever learn something
I think you see value in getting the last word. Feel free to correct that "false statement."
Per usual, you're incorrect. Just because I respond it doesn't mean I'm seeking the last word, and the fact that you're aiming for such an incredibly petty gotcha just proves why you're not a valuable conteibutor
Sure you aren't. Personally, I can't wait for each new hilarious reply.
By the way, you forgot to downvote a few posts in my history. You better do that so everyone can see how inferior I am to you.
Downvoting is whatever the fuck people want it to be.
