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!

Doing real work would be going to Washington D.C in collective mass and occupying the white house (which is funny that conservative nutjobs did it before any leftist group ever could. funny that). Or you know, doing real work would involve actually tracking, following and routing every corrupt politician. Doing real work would involve getting up in Trump's face personally, as he is too powerless to stop millions that'd theoretically approach him.
No american has the balls to, they just do whatever is convenient for them. The real work is stop supporting the regime that this country has once again, put itself in. No american wants to upset their life to do that, no, they'll want to be cute and plan on an off-day to go out and raise a sign up and down. It is vibes of Occupy Wall-Street, that protest did nothing.
No, it isn't just tankies. It is by observation, as to how many people I see online talking big and boldly about their revolutionist dreams, but keeping them as just that - revolutionist dreams. Keep assuming blindly.
I asked for a full plan, not a witty retort. You've demonstrated as to how little you've thought of actually running a country post-revolution would take. Proves me right.
You seem to resort to just spamming that word 'tankie' but I don't think you absolutely realize what is being said to you. Man, you're a lost cause. Fucking moron.
Yesterday was the largest protest in US history. Shut the fuck up you pompous counterproductive troll.
Well have fun with that. Now run along and play, the grown ups are demonstrating.
How is that not exactly what you're doing?
More projection. Is that your only card? I've offered plenty of intelligent input on this thread and others, but your comments aren't worth the effort because they don't stimulate productive discussion. Don't blame me that the only valid response to you is to point out how unhelpful you're being.
No, I understand exactly what's being said. And I only use the word "tankie" to refer to "tankies." You're complaining about keyboard warriors who advocate for their revolution fantasies. Those are literally tankies. Are you offended by the word 'tankie'? What's a matter, are you a tankie or something?
So far in this thread you've called people 'retards' and 'morons', so don't accuse me of spamming words without understanding the conversation being held. You're the lost cause here, not I.
