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!

You haven't answered a single one of my questions in any of my comments you've responded to.
A sad pathetic loser. Baby Boomers are scum—every single one of them.
Does that make you happy, kiddo?
Demonstrates you have some awareness of the problem.
The problem is your ageism.
Lol okay. What was the problem before my ageism then? And what year did my ageism become the problem?
to your 1st question: There was/is a number of problems.
to your 2nd question: I don't know: I don't know you, pseudonymous.
Interesting. Not what you said a second ago. Such as?
America's bloated military budget and imperialism.
US veneration of veterans—those war criminals who fought after Korea, if not after WWII.
increase protections "intellectual property" means increased violations of free speech, property, and things such as progress.
people still using Twitter, Facebook, and Amazon, even though it makes their owners richer.
cat and dog owners who feed their pets factory farmed meat, and people who buy eggs from those who have hens in battery cages.
vehicles that are excessively loud be they pick-up trucks, sports cars, and motorcycles.
people spending $100 000s on a house, but not a fraction of that to make it over half energy self-sufficient with things such as solar cells and battery arrays.
NIMBY laws that causes much of the homelessness.
Americans who dump on 3rd party candidates because they think they can change the 2-party state from within the 2 parties.
Local cable monopolies—a cable isn't a highway or railroad—you can bunch up cables of competitors together.
Canadian retaliatory tariffs on the US. Let the free market—something that Trump and many in American business who aren't acquainted with—do the retaliating.
among other things.
