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!

They sure can! But they should be aware when anyone in any thread says "our blah blah blah" when talking about American politics, they mean Americans. We can't spell every tiny detail out for you, it goes without saying that "our.... " in a thread about Americans and an American politician, this is referring to those the thread is about.
Just like in my response to you, I say "they" rather than "non-americans not allowed to talk about US politics." Because I am responding to you, and you should know who I am referring to. Certainly, I'm not talking about everyone on Earth.
THIS is how it works. Whatever country or political system and so on are the subject of the thread, when speaking of those who are involved in voting or parties or citizens and so on, "our" should be adequate for all readers without further explanation.
Do you understand?
Or, just saying, how about you don't babe assumptions about people's politics? To save yourself the embarrassment 😉
I didn't make any assumptions, just telling you how it works, friendo.
Why would I be embarrassed? You're the one who doesn't know, I am being kind by teaching you. :P
You assumed I was American and supported a certain political party. Did you forget?
