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!

But there's still legally required to be opt-in, right?

So as long as you dont enable them yourself, you're fine.

Chump and his corrupt Republicans have screwed the average American again. Are you still happy you voted in a 34 count felon?

Rhetorical-ness of the question aside, who, exactly, are you asking? I doubt anyone here voted for him. Perhaps a better set of questions for this demographic is:

  • "Are you still happy you threw your vote away on a dead-end 3rd party that only trots out every 4 years?"
  • "Are you still happy you stayed home on election day to show how morally superior you are?"
  • "Are you still happy you sowed division and doubt when we should have been unified against this obvious threat?"

I think a lot of people are legitimately too stupid to understand harm reduction and multi step processes. It's like that SpongeBob meme with Patrick's wallet, except it ends in incalculable sorrow.

Adding one:

Are you still happy that gaza is saved because trump was the better bet vs Biden/Harris

Building off of that: Where's all the "gEnOciDE tRUmP!" people at? Unless....(gasp!)...they were bad faith actors all along.

Never realized Trump voters were yearning for higher fees.

Just another step towards the mines

Small price to pay to make sure the like 10 out 540,000 NCAA athletes aren’t trans and coming in 12th in a cross-country race or whatever sports aren’t even televised.

"Hey, you know that policy that benefits working-class Americans and has virtually no drawbacks except to like five people? WELL IT'S IMPEDING OUR FREEDOM SO LET'S GET RID OF IT!"

You can always count on the House of Representatives to have a laser focus on what's important. /s
