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!

That’s reasonable.
I’m just scared and angry and fucked up and I lashed out at you because it felt good.
I hope I had no effect on your day. Sorry.
It's all good. I have no reason to stay mad at someone admitting fault and apologising. I hope you guys can improve your situation so that you don't have to feel this scared and angry so constantly. I feel both just looking in from the outside, so I can't imagine how much worse it feels like from the inside.
You have no idea.
I’m an Army Veteran actually, and this whole thing pisses me off so much.
I feel like the America I was sold in my younger years is gone and it’s become so warped and twisted that it’s not even recognizable.
But another part of me knows that a lot of what I believed was actually never true, in retrospect.
I want to feel proud of my country again one day.
I don't know what to say that would make you feel better. I just hope you get your wish, someday.
Your patience with an antagonistic stranger is all the warmth and hope I need for a good while.
Thanks for taking the time and risk being real with an anonymous internet person.
