So Americans CAN protest!
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!

I don’t get this rhetoric. Americans started the largest civil rights protests in human history against police brutality in 2020 with the George Floyd protests. And, it included the destruction of a police station in Minnesota.
The rhetoric is probably because your leadership is backstabbing its allies, allying with dictators and removing rights and dignity for its own citizens. But I’m just guessing.
and removing rights and dignity for its own citizens
Yeah, shitty rhetoric. What our “leaders” do and what the people do are mutually exclusive. You’re still not addressing the fact that Americans have a strong history of rebellion and protest that is going to look different than the highly homogenized and concentrated countries in Europe.
What do you mean they’re mutually exclusive?
I’m all for you guys getting of the couch, and I’ll be happy to hear about your protests?
You are attempting to conflate fascist leaders with the citizens that they rule over. Doesn’t make much sense. Do you believe 380 million people all think the same? Do you think we’re all equally represented by the current fascist regime?
I’m conflating things by sarcastically pointing to the fault lines that should be there between two opposite entities? That does not make sense.
I know you’re not all represented by this regime. I’m wondering why we see no large scale protests for those of you not liking this.
