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!

I'm so confused by the conflict in this comment. Who are you criticizing ?
If you don’t know then bless you.
In a few months hang around the politicalmemes comms and you’ll see them out in force. They’re usually in any politics thread about Democrats as well.
But your comment has conflicting opinions in it. ?
It really doesn’t.
I'll break it down for you. It's unclear what position you are taking and if you are being sarcastic and which points you are bring sarcastic about. All of them ?
You can use "s/" to denote sarcastic points at the end of comments to clarify. Don't expect people to read your mind from across a screen. They can't anymore than you can.
-Not to worry - our lefties won’t vote anyway.-
Criticizing lefts, typically from more extreme leftist, libertarians, or anarchists.
-iT’s tHe DeMoCrAtZ fAuLt! Bourgeoise oppressor swine-pigs!-
Criticizing entire party affiliation as being fascist because they are the rich class (no one is rich except Republican billionaires), typically from an extreme leftist or from maga side.
-trump 4 lyfe!- Supporting fascist regime , typically from maga
Wow, that’s confused it more than I thought possible! Well done.
Here, you seem to be struggling a little bit so let’s make it super simple. My position is: everyone who can vote should vote. Furthermore, my position is that voting in numbers that defeat trump is of paramount importance.
That it could be considered to be not just other than that, but several wildly different others in the context of this comm on this platform at this time is . . . impressive.
Well you are the one with the downvoted comment that no one understood.
Other people can't read tone in text. Or see facial expressions.
Your text was unclear. I took the time to explain why and you got mad. Ok fine. I will just not help you out next time.
I guess thanks at least for finally explaining yourself.
Your point was not clear in the original text. And I explained why.
Yeah, it really shouldn’t have been, but thank you for hanging in there. And my downvotees understood it perfectly, I’m sure.
