Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. 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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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!

In a win for the White House, the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals has cleared the way for President Trump to fire two Democratic members of independent agencies. In a 2-1 decision, the court found that restrictions on the president's power to remove officers of the executive branch are unconstitutional.

You have bad taste in art, comrade.

We all have our own tastes, comrade.

Right! Isn't it good for us to all have our tastes?

People should be able to abort.

Gays should marry freely.

Gender is a matter of social construct.

Climate change is caused by man

Vaccines work and dont cause adverse side effects with any known lasting consequences

Critical thinking isn't communism.

Etc. 🥂

I will assume any response to this is such that you agree in general.

Any attempt to subvert it into further conversation will certainly be ignored. But I'll see you in the next thread!

People should be able to abort.

Agreed.

Gays should marry freely.

Yep.

Gender is a matter of social construct

Agreed there.

Climate change is caused by man

Yup.

Vaccines work and dont cause adverse side effects with any known lasting consequences

Yes.

Critical thinking isn’t communism.

Sure.

I personally support a system where the mass creation of people’s enterprises and joint stock companies occur which guarantees workers a share of profits.

In fact, I support a system so capitalistic that even the workers can sit on company boards.

But communism is fine too, but requires automation, imo.

Russia invaded Ukraine.

It's Putin's war.

Us arguing about that only ends with us going back and forth.
