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!

Any info on that? I think there's plenty of real shit out there that we don't need to make things up to criticize them over, so I'd rather not spread this without any kind of corroboration. She seems like a regular conservative ghoul who sucks at art but wants to be famous for acting and singing, and failing that she'll try to be a hot podcaster, and failing that she'll be a trad wife to a bonafide party member.
Yeah, let's be careful with spreading misinformation about Nazis. You can only defeat fascism with honestly and kindness.
Spreading lies muddies the water. If they prove that some of what's said about them is bullshit, then it invites questioning the veracity of the actual problems that we haven't made up. Oversaturation of information along with some unknown amount of lies makes people say fuck it, idk what to believe, and then they tune out.
BS. Spreading lies simply shows we don't respect them. Look how "JD Vance fucked a couch" story spread. Did any one question actual problems with JD because of that? Come on. It's not a debate club. You have exactly 0 people being on the face right now thinking "gee, I don't know what to think about Patel anymore. On one hand he's clearly incompetent but on the other some rumors about him were not verified". Just the fact that the rumors are there must piss them off and that's beautiful.
Also, people that tuned out will pay attention again when they can't afford food or are sent to a concentration camp by ICE. This is how you change their mind. Not by sharing facts with them.
That's exactly how it works when the Nazis flood social media with nonsense. You just hav e to prove one thing wrong, that destroys their credibility forever and no one ever repeats what they say again.
Nazis don't believe in their own bullshit. They just like having excuses. But normal, everyday people who aren't paying much attention will see us spread bullshit and say "gee, I guess both sides really are the same" and decide to not get involved. The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing.
Hammer the facts.
