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!

The facts don't matter, only the narrative.
Every accusation is a confession.
I see, so the other day when you were accusing me of being disingenuous and splitting hairs, you were confessing that you are disingenuous and split hairs.
While it was obvious, I have to say I'm surprised to hear you admit it.
Oh wow. So you're going to keep trolling me huh. Wow, big surprise. Don't let me stop you.
Trolling you? You responded to me not the other way around. Lol
I guess this is another one of those "every accusation is a confession" things.
It's the standard playing ignorant routine. Does it get old?
You're the one, by your own logic, confessing that you're playing ignorant by accusing me of it.
So, I don't know, you tell me.
Although, this is especially funny in light of our discussion yesterday where you also claimed that ad hominems undercut the point.
Just keep trolling me. Don't stop now.
I still can't tell if you're just really dumb or you're actually a troll. If you're trolling, well done.
You're on a roll. You've accused the person you're trolling of trolling. It doesn't get higher quality than that.
Nah, it was you who accused them of trolling when you said every accusation is a confession, not me.
Every accusation from a conservative is a confession.
Allowing yourself to go around throwing accusations at will, while simultaneously stopping anyone you label a conservative from doing so. Very convenient!
How about this, can I say that every accusation by a toasted planet is a confession? Boom. I like this style of "thought" where we just get to make up anything we want.
I refuse to be silenced because you are trolling. You can champion conservatism all you want and in the most disingenuous way you can think of. But I refuse to go quietly while the Republican party drags my country into a christofascist dictatorship.
lol. You're truly lost.
This is what Republicans are planning if they win the presidential election this year. It's a christofascist dictatorship.

I will be as silly as I have to if that's what it takes to speak my mind and advocate for our democracy.
lol. You're truly lost.
