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 US politics and contain quality and original content. Social Media adjacent hosts like Substack are allowed, but ONLY if they tie back to a company/subsidiary. No personal or friend group blogs and no self-promotion. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and re-hosted 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 other users of being bots or paid actors.
  3. No memes, trolling, misinformation, or low-effort posts/comments (including reposts). If you see posts like this that anger you, do not engage. Report, block, and live a happier life than they do. Any slap-fight is subject to comment removals. Fights full of rule violations will result in temporary bans to cool off.
  4. No manipulating votes via bots or alt accounts; this will result in permanent bans. 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 an account ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be permanently banned.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules and use critical thinking when reading, posting, and commenting. Users that repeatedly have 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. The reason(s) behind moderator action(s) are publicly available through the Modlog.

That's all the rules!

Can't say I'll ever begrudge anyone for not buying into this. Person like this, she's a symptom and a carrier. Spreading hate, fear, and ignorance.

Her type though is True Believer, and Trust No One. A conspiracy theorist with minimal real education and no faith in systems or the Authority in a Field. She wants so bad to be the good guy, but has failed to identify the structural problems. It has to be people, it has to be demons, it has to be the Joos. She's just hitting out now that the real bad guys have self-identified.

When she starts seeing the problems in the system that led to the ascendency of the bad guys then I'll be more interested in her face turn. Right now she's still too people focused to trust she won't just revert or find someone new to fawn over.

I wish her luck on this journey.

+2 for looking in hindsight, but +2 does very little when you're sitting at -297

I wish her luck on this journey.

I hope she literally gets trampled by a stampede of cows while campaigning at some county fair to appeal to dumbass hicks on her first day running for her inevitable presidential campaign.

I have a lot of sympathy for dumb hicks, I was raised by them and was one once until I escaped into the real world and got myself educated. I have ZERO sympathy for grifters and pipers who deliberately lie their way to lordship over the dumbasses. They know what they're doing and they are the definition of evil.

The damage that she and her peers have done to the world by campaigning for and supporting the Trump administration cannot be overstated. Between Covid and the withdraw from WHO and USAID the death toll from her and her minions and Trump will be in the millions.
