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!

Actually, no.
Yeah I would do better, I advocate in protesting smarter, too bad nobody listens because everyone like you, seems to have it alllll figured out, don't you?
Fucking retard. I'm going to have a good laugh once this protest does, oh, absolutely fuck-all.
No you fucking don't! You advocate for no planning and some spontaneous, disorganized, and magical "just do."
This you?
You're the one who seems to think you have it all figured out, so quit projecting. Why should anyone listen to you when you're only point is "everyone's wrong but me, everything the organizers are saying during the 'planning' stage is invalid, people shouldn't listen to them, they should listen to me!"
Well, unlike you, the protest organizers are actually creating and maintaining a movement and taking tangible actions. So I'm not surprised no one listens to you when you're trying to detract from that.
I'm sure this will make more people listen to someone like you lol
Nobody listens to anybody anyways unless it's a stupid echo chamber followed by a vague message for everyone to get cozy with. Because Americans don't know how to protest, they'll only do whatever is most convenient and comfortable.
