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!

Can't get at it, you're right. This is Fort Knox. I see twelve armed guards in this photo alone.
I don't think Gaia would approve of destroying the environment in an act of ecoterrorism.
Pesonally, I just want to see a transition to clean energy.
But she appreciates the continued, but slower destruction, right?
I am one of the few people that recognize we have lost around a billion people to premature death from environmental degredation in the last fifty years.
If you think we need more death and destruction I guess you can bear that responsibility.
I think there has already been enough death, it is time to reflect and change but the entrenched wealthy keep fighting back.
I don't think ecoterrorism is the way forward.
A transition to clean energy means humans get to continue raping the rest of the natural world. It's not just fossil fuels that are killing the planet, it's us replacing the natural world with more us and our livestock.
Hey, if you want to kill humanity that is on you. This is no longer about Captain Planet though.
I don't wanna kill anything except wild game, I'm here for a good time not a long time.
