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 politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted 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 another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- 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 a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple 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.
That's all the rules!

Hence the downvotes. They really are pathetic enough to have to have an echo chamber.
Conservative communities are far worse echo chambers. If you're not metaphorically sucking Trump's dick you get banned.
Now you are projecting hard. I got banned from subreddits just for belonging to a pro Trump sub. You can spew your bullshit until you're blue in the face but everyone knows who the fascists are. The ones that don't believe anyone but them should have an opinion or be allowed to speak and it isn't Trump supporters.
Out of curiosity, which one?
Can you define fascism? If not, I strongly suggest starting with Umberto Eco’s essay Ur-Fascism. And if you can, I’d love to hear what you think it consists of.
I got called a ‘biological terrorist’ and automatically banned from r/justice served by those fascists mods.
Never even posted there before, just woke up to a DM informing me
This was when the abortion decision happened with the Supreme Court
Looks like this place is no different from the last place.
This is a POLITICS community not a LIBERAL one
Ok cool
It should be, but it’s not cool. Because the members of this community treat it like a liberal sub, but it’s called “politics”
Why should I care?
Why would an intelligent person care?
Oh no liberals talking about politics, the horror lmao
Just because people disagree with you on if people deserve humans rights doesn't mean they're targetting you, my dude
Because liberalism isn't a political ideology? ~Strawberry
I e been here for a few days. Already -200 or whatever.
I’m going to block this community, it’s just like r/politics - progressive only
Sad, would be nice to actually talk to people who might not think like me. But that’s not possible
