Rules:

1. Be civil


Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. 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. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.


2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.


Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.

4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.


Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content.

7. No duplicate posts.


If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.

Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.


9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.

It kind of doesn't though. The specific thing it found (italicization added)

The poll found that large shares of Americans believe Republicans’ views on crime and policing, immigration and the economy are closer to their own than Democrats’ views, according to CNN’s report. Republicans have a 15-point advantage on crime and policing, a 7-point advantage on immigration and a 5-point advantage on the economy, according to the poll.

and earlier in the article

The poll also found that 58% of respondents said things are going “pretty” or “very” badly in the United States today, while 42% said things are going “pretty” or “very” well. Americans still carry negative views of both political parties, with 52% having an unfavorable view of Democrats and 51% having an unfavorable view of Republicans.

A relatively large portion of Americans think something isn't working right now and aren't happy with what they're getting. They would still like to solve all of their problems by just inflicting violence on the right people because we have watched too many bad action movies and cop shows and modern military shooters and have some seriously fucked up beliefs about the utility of violence, but Americans see gardeners and school teachers and doctors and parents being dragged away by masked government agents that lash out violently with zero provocation and they say "no, not like that, you're not hurting the right people, this isn't what I voted for, etc."

Also, Republicans numbers are being artificially boosted by the fact that Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries can't go more than three days at a time without saying something that makes them sound completely full of shit.
