politics
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!

Thanks for disambiguating! :)
Di nada.
Also, no reason to use your 25 cent word of the day more than once. No one is impressed twice by its use.
Getting pissy at people for using a polysyllabic word twice isn't coming across as the big own you seem to have been aiming for.
You are projecting David.
I'm far to old to be impressed by a new vocabulary word. Nothing more.
Sue me.
Projecting? Projecting what?
This you?
For some of us, disambiguation wasn't a new word, and in particular, I don't think @ExFed@programming.dev was trying to impess you.
"Getting pissy at people..."
I wasn't "getting pissy", I was making fun of them. YOU are the one getting pissy, dear boy.
It sure seems that reading for comprehension isn't anyone elses strong suit here.
Oh honey. It was obviously so new for him that he had to use it in two consecutive posts. He was trying for something. The kids always try to impress the adults in the room.
You'll realize this eventually. Maybe.
I'm old enough to know that I don't respect someone who tries to make out that anyone who disagrees with them is stupid or a child, particularly when they themselves feel the need to comment on someone using big words too often.
I wondered whether you had to look it up and it annoyed you, so you went on the attack and defaulted to sneering. But I think it's more likely that you immediately realised that your attempt to belittle them for questioning whether you were serious had backfired spectacularly and they were amused that your response answered the question vividly instead of having the desired effect, and that's what made you try to make them look small.
You and I have different senses of humour. I find things funny when there's a surprise other meaning or something like that, but you find things funny when you're calling other people dumb. It's just that this time the irony is that you accidentally assumed someone had to pay money to have come across the word disambiguation before today. Again "ooo, swallowed a dictionary, have you?" isn't the 'massive own' playground bullies think it is.
In case it wasn't clear, I think your sneering responses to disagreement throughout this thread make you sound deeply insecure. Those of us who disagree with you aren't all naïve and teenaged as you like to pretend. Come up with better arguments than that. Marx and Engels were very, very intelligent men and you are doing them a disservice by acting like trump in defence of their ideals.
That's a whole lotta words for nothing.
Projecting AND covering up for insecurities.
Nice.
Good boy.
ROFL using (claimed) age as a proxy for maturity. Classic.
Again, if you want to come across as wise, you have to come up with more than insults.
And if you want to rebut my points effectively, you have to come up with something more substantive than that they were a bit lengthy for your taste.
