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.

Louisiana purchase was 1803, In 1619 ish slaves arrive in Virginia. Read a book you fucking absolute clown.
Good thing we have this expert history book reader to tell us that the first thing the UNITED STATES did wrong was import slaves into the ENGLISH COLONY of Virginia in 1619
Yes it predates the country and continues from day 1. You win such a big skull you must have 1776 brain cells.
It seems you have read a book in the last 2 hours, I'm glad we're in agreement that it doesn't involve the US then
I'm not in the business of arguing with dumb fucks. Clearly when they declared indepence from England they could have freed the slaves or you know sent them back to England, because you think it was the king who owned the slaves. Do you understand or should I draw you a picture with crayon?
That's the British!
And what did the "Americans" do in 1776? Did they send all the slaves back to England? Did they Declare them free men? Oh ok, Shut the fuck up.
Listen here, seat-sniffer. The list is regarding pro-active decisions that went wrong. Otherwise you could sit here all day listing off everything from not immediately allowing women's suffrage to banning child marriages.
If you would take a break from huffing paint thinner and think it over, you would see my point about the Louisiana Purchase being a mistake is also because it was about the expansion of slavery. No longer could they say it was something existing already that they were burdened with, but an active choice they decided to lean into.
Now, please don't take my words too harshly. I know people like you will spiral into months long depression when they realize their mothers drank while they were in the womb and their dad's dropped them on their heads while reaching for another handful stale Doritos. It's a tough one-two combo to overcome, but you're doing your best and we all appreciate that 🙏 💪
I'm not reading all your Canadian syrup mush brain words. Go watch a hockey game, it is clear to me you have taken a few pucks to the head. Your wrong and your just using cunt logic.
When you want to come off like you're too good to even care about the other person's reply, don't do it in a way that proves you got so mad you had to go to their profile and read through their comment history ;)
You wish I cared. Shouldn't you be crying while listening to BBL Drizzle?
