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!

Remember to VOTE BLUE no matter WHO!
-Haley Stevens (D) who's CAMPAIGNING with Mike Rodgers (R)!
Can't tell if sarcasm...
Edit: WHY do you COMMENT like THIS? I was trying to understand if you were being sarcastic or not and your comment history is full of EMPHASIS via CAPS
It's a novelty account, so it's sarcasm.
If Satansmaggotycumfart is any indicator, then I never know when it's "novelty" or novelty...
It's said that if you say Satan's name three times in the mirror, they'll come out and mock you for your bad takes.
BigMacHole has kept the snark flowing freely for years at this point. I think.
Best to let it just wash over you rather than think about it
Edit: 7mo?? Must be a new instance, yeah?
I guess this is meant to cast Stevens as a generic avatar of "centrist"-death-mask-wearing conservatives who demand unconditional support from progressives if they win but won't give it back if they lose?
But I don't know if Stevens said or demanded that, so it's a bit confusing, and could also be read to attack the phrase "vote blue no matter who." Which is a turnoff since it mimics right-wing sarcastic comments meant to mock democratic voters who vote for "least evil" dem candidates over fascist right candidates - i.e., intended left turnout suppression. So seems like the novelty bit is getting in the way of actual, you know, communication.
Those were just some of my hilarious, important thoughts on the inherently funny topic of sober, lengthy deconstruction of comedy. (That was sarcasm, if such a thing can possibly work without all caps.) (That was also sarcasm. /s) (Despite the "/s," that last one wasn't sarcasm.) (Feeling good about this one.)
Yeah, I had to ask, because Stevens isn't the candidate you're voting for... So vote blue no matter who ™️/s doesn't quite hit because she got primary'd.
Which is WHY PEOPLE NEED TO VOTE IN THE PRIMARIES
Whoops, too many caps this time
No no, the caps made me understand your sarcasm!
Wait, no, sorry.
No NO, the CAPS made me understand your SARCASM!
Oh, that's better.
But I wasn't trying to be sarcastic. And neither were you! DAMN IT.
