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.
- 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.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple 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.
That's all the rules!

Sure wish literally anyone on the US “left” had half the courage of their convictions as MAGA trash.
But by all means, keep clutching your pearls and feeling morally superior.
You can always cross the border and satisfy your bloodlust, but we both know you'll say "it isn't my fight" and not do shit. Just go back to feeling morally superior from the comfort of your home.
Golly, it's just so hard to understand why, when actually faced with the prospect, people are so reluctant to start killing their neighbors and relatives!
It's not about bloodlust, it's about not being sitting ducks
It's your country that's falling apart, it's going to affect primarily you (at first, and then the rest of the world)
Yep, there it is: "it isn't my fight." News flash: if the US falls, you guys will be next. Stop trying to shame others for things you're not (and wouldn't be) willing to do yourself.
"if the US falls, you will be next"
Yeah, and that's effectively you (as a group) threatening me, isn't it? For stuff that's going on in your country? That I had no influence on? Why do you expect me to do anything but prepare to defend myself?
I won't be saving your country from your own mess, no. And as a non-local I would be less than useless even if I did cross the border. What I will be doing, however, is preparing to the best of my ability myself and my home community against a fascist US.
Besides, that wasn't the point of my comment. The point of my comment is that the fascists in charge won't hesitate to use violence against you. If you choose to not defend yourself from it, then you're sitting ducks, and they get free reign. It has nothing to do with "bloodlust". It's about defending yourself from an abuser. Why did you assume I tried to shame you? I'm not the original commenter.
