A place to discuss politics and offer political commentary. Self posts are preferred, but links to current events and news are allowed. Opinion pieces are welcome on a case by case basis, and discussion of and disagreement about issues is encouraged!

The intent is for this community to be an area for open & respectful discussion on current political issues, news & events, and that means we all have a responsibility to be open, honest, and sincere. We place as much emphasis on good content as good behavior, but the latter is more important if we want to ensure this community remains healthy and vibrant.

Content Rules:

  1. Self posts preferred.
  2. Opinion pieces and editorials are allowed on a case by case basis.
  3. No spam or self promotion.
  4. Do not post grievances about other communities or their moderators.

Commentary Rules

  1. Don’t be a jerk or do anything to prevent honest discussion.
  2. Stay on topic.
  3. Don’t criticize the person, criticize the argument.
  4. Provide credible sources whenever possible.
  5. Report bad behavior, please don’t retaliate. Reciprocal bad behavior will reflect poorly on both parties.
  6. Seek rule enforcement clarification via private message, not in comment threads.
  7. Abide by Lemmy's terms of service (attacks on other users, privacy, discrimination, etc).

Please try to up/downvote based on contribution to discussion, not on whether you agree or disagree with the commenter.

Sorry, Im not going to argue with someone who cant be objective.

Ask yourself, if poltical power requires a mass of people to align how do you get there?

Who do you align yourself with?

Do you assume mass support for the cause is just going to manifest itself?

If you can't handle disagreement you don't belong here. I'm the only one who was willing to give you benefit of the doubt, no one else had given you their time of day. So delete your post if you can't handle disagreement.

Why did you say you won't argue then proceed to ask questions? Make up your mind.

I didnt argue I asked you to self reflect. Obviously, you would rather just break ties with me without even learning my position. That is the definition of what I am describing.

This victim mentality won't take you anywhere and you'll never make it in life with this thinking. Man up and make a coherent argument. No one will give you the sympathy you are seeking when you keep playing victim.

What am I the victim of?
