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.

- 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!"

Honestly american culture and its politics are rothen and they absolutetly brought this upon yourselves, just straight up, ehile the whole regan admin ended up having the effect of making the world the hellscape it is and it seems to not be slowing down, right now censorship is gaining a very real foot (in both sides) and its been working its way to make the religious nuts into full on nuts, and while they probably have been this way since the begining, religion kinda limited their madness by scaring them into believing they where gona go to hell if they didnt behave, but their bipartisan bullshit managed to replace religion in their minds and Just make them dance to wathever bullshit their favorite politician spews out this week.
And the left is no better, you guys used to promote anti-hate and freedom of speech, but now, What the hell happened to you? their head is so up their own assess that they became what they sought out to destroy, instead of promoting sane discussion they relegated into bipartisan tribalism and started censoring people they didnt agree with, even going as far as to defend the democratic party, even if their interests are as against the general population as the republicans, but since they where the ones that supposedly didn't want to oppress social groups (even if they totally still fucking do just look at the fucking border ffs) they are right and everything they spew out is right, and while trying to make a safe space online, in academia, and in political discourse, is just naive, promoting respectful language and tolerance to diferent social groups is not a bad thing, but the way they handle it is the definition of "the road to hell is paved with good intentions", specially in media.
They ended up making bipartisan hate grow into the other side on top of the hate they already had, and politicians (democrats and republicans ) took full advantage of this and we have what we have now in the political big picture.
American politics is just a fucking reality show now and I believe they deserve it, only problem is they take the rest of the world between their crotch and fuck us all up since they rule the world/economy. I really hope those guys wake up from their bipartisan bitch slapping nightmare and start fighting the real war which is the class war. Against, you know, the only assholes that get benefited by you too infighting.
Anyhow rant over, down votes to the right. But whrite a comment first, i really whant to hear why you disagree.
You're going to have a hard time finding anyone who understands what in the hell you're trying to say in the first place, let alone someone who can figure out how to "disagree" with whatever it is. Why don't you pick a single argument, make it concisely without any major spelling errors, and we can go from there?
edit: Are you trying to turn this error riddled garbage into copypasta?
Nice i have a fan.
But seriously now, im not trying to make it one, i just really wanted discussion from this thought i had, but i havent seem to find any, just people attacking me and not the subject, its a little disapointing. What im trying to convey is that they are becoming to attached to their political parties when it really shouldnt be like that in the first place at least in my opinion. But if you whant to call me an idiot and stalk my comments anyways then go ahead.
I don't care what you do, my dude. Nor am I calling you an idiot. You made that part up. I'm just saying no one is going to engage you if you can't even bother to spell words correctly and jump from thread to thread to post the same unhinged rant that no one responded to the first time around. The fact that you immediately played the victim card probably explains why folks would rather just downvote and ignore you than engage on any meaningful level. You're giving off "crazy uncle" vibes.
So it sounds like "people are attached to political parties" is what you want to debate. Am I correct in that? Because it's a pretty easy argument to dispel completely, not to mention the fact that you haven't provided any legitimate support for it in the first place. Is there a more substantive opinion that you feel like you can flesh out in detail? If so, please do. Because from where I sit, if this were a game of tennis you'd really just be dumping out an entire basket of balls to roll around on the court. You can't expect us to return a serve you didn't actually bother to make.
Well you did return, and thats all i wanted, saying im playing the victim and all that and the fact that im making up the idiot thing when you know im not being literal about it, and that im not refering to you necesarilly. But the info you provided is really cool and gives me hope that they are gonna be going on the right path politically, but i still think they are gonna have a bad time getting away from the culture war bs. And i did aknowledge that it was a rant. But still you are very rude, and crazy like me for engaging with me, lol. But i do agree with yah.
Keeping up with the "crazy uncle" vibes, I see. Good luck with that shtick, chief.
Thanks. You too
