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!

No, keep going.
Keep getting defensive and illustrating exactly why they’re steamrolling you. Don’t stop. It’s already clear enough to me, but I think it’s useful that other people see the mindset that’s keeping US liberals from stopping MAGA.
Why are you obfuscating? It's just a plane ticket, glass, and gasoline, right? So YOU can stop MAGA
please save us from the MAGA
What a stupid rebuttal...
In response to being accurately accused of not doing anything to overthrow the fascist ruling class in your own country, you ask people from other countries to come do it for you? And you think you're being smart?
Of course you think it's stupid. They are telling ME to buy a plane ticket and overthrow MAGA with glass and gasoline. They can just as easily do the same.
"Do as I say, not as I do" applies here.
You don't want to be gunned down, but you're fine with me being murdered, I get it, no fucking shit.
Meanwhile, your own nation is shoveling money to the USA right now. If you sit at the table with Nazis, you're a Nazi, I've heard. Why is your country sitting at the table with Nazis?
Go ahead and tell me what to do... but then, I'll tell you what to do. Not fair, is it? If only I served you.
It applies to you, silly. It's YOUR government. Your need to be willing to fight for it, and it's okay to ask for external help but it's not okay to insist it's everyone else's problem.
I'll be your Che, but you have to be Fidel first.
Actually, you do you, your country is heading for collapse that will primarily hurt you, and most of the rest of the world will be better off.
You're a coward, that's the only thing you think everyone is afraid of. You're fine with our people being drone struck at weddings or in ambulances, you're fine with your country completely destroying our homelands and genociding us, I get it, no fucking shit. You only care about you and yours.
But again, they're coming for you next.
I assure you, my nation isn't shoveling any money to the USA. I can't wait for the empire to fall. I hope the coward citizens can make something good out of it, but I'm watching the same film I've seen many times before; a cult of personality comes to power and slowly strips away any mechanisms to stop him, then he targets and eliminates any opposition to his rule, secures military allegiance and sits on a throne and never leave. And finally when you're ready to step up comes the torture camps and disappearances.
Enjoy having your vote counts before its cast for dear leader, if they decide to keep up the voting facade in the first place. Might just declare martial law and cancel elections permanently.
You’re doing an excellent job of illustrating why your country is where it is. What is it with Americans being fundamentally incapable of accepting criticism?
