politics
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!

rent = excuses
How many more people will be sent to El Salvador or shot in the streets because of your inaction? Rent will be the least of their concerns. And that assumes you're not the next group the persecute.
You act like civil wars don’t require feeding, supplying, and housing the people involved.
Revolutionaries still need to sleep, and at this point there is no-one out there offering to freely house and feed the thousands of people who would be needed to instigate a successful violent revolution.
Where is your action? I haven’t heard any news about the vigilante maverick out there shooting ICE Agents while somehow remaining housed and fed.. Be the change you want to see in the world before you admonish others for the same inaction.
I'm not American. It's not my job to clean up your shit. You do it.
Buddy, I’m not American either.
Difference is I don’t try and insult people for living under the thumb of capitalism. We’re all struggling right now, and with the way the world is going, it only takes one bad leader for your country to end up in a shambles. When it’s your home and family on the line, I’ll happily eat my hat when you go Rambo.
Do you not pay rent, or are you safely posting this from another country?
They're not from the USA. I'm thoroughly convinced shitheels like them just want to see USA citizens just kill one another in the streets to get off to it.
