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 no fucking way dude...so you actually can't read, like it's not even a comprehension thing.
No that's not what I'm talking about, go back to the beginning and see what you tried saying I defined socialism as, that's the entire argument that we had even though you were too dumb to even realize it. And then after that you just kept misreading every single comment, you just are so stuck on something you imagined I said and refuse to actually fucking read our "conversation". I even called it out in the middle and quoted you, that's the crux of our whole debate.
I literally quoted you word for word on everything, except for the part at the beginning where I clarified that socialism isn't when the government does stuff, which I never claimed you said.
Even if you weren't lying, bluffing, and trolling, which you absolutely 100% are and have been this whole time, there's no excuse for you to keep accusing me of misreading and not having reading comprehension instead of saying the fucking thing you're accusing me of misreading. We could have been having a productive conversation this whole time but no, because you're just a troll who'd rather do this bit of pretending I misunderstood something.
Communicating badly and acting smug when you're misunderstood is not cleverness.
You are a worthless pedant and a troll.
I literally did point out where the original miscommunication was and attempted to clarify but you continued hurling insults instead of just fucking reading.
Where? No you fucking didn't.
The only reason I started hurling insults was because you refused to clarify anything at any point in favor of going "LEARN TO READ YOUR READING COMPREHENSION IS SO BAD LMAO" over and over again, without actually pointing out ANYTHING that I supposedly misunderstood at ANY stage of the conversation. All of this could've been avoided if you had done that.
