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!

Keep reading. You'll get there eventually. I'm sure you're patient and diligent enough. I have faith in you.
YOU CAN DO EET!
Right.
While I'm doing that, how about you look up burden of proof buddy?
You'll figure it out. Actually, on second thought, you likely should have already known about this. Which does beg the question 'Why are you acting like you don't?' .
Bro, I don't know what propaganda you've swallowed. I can't anticipate where your knowledge holes are. You'll have to be thorough on your own dime.
I'm not getting paid to educate you.
Frankly, IDGAF what you believe one way or the other, I'm just trying to help you by pointing out the obvious.
You've fallen for CIA propaganda. Like how you think Communism is bad and don't seem to consider just how many billions of dollars the US spends every year to keep you believing that.
I'm sure the Fascists in control are happy with you though, so at least you've got that.
Toodles.
By pointing to a set of pages that elaborate on what you mean?
No, let's examine what you did instead:
you demean me by suggesting I'm simply brainwashed because I disagree with you, further by suggesting I'm uneducated.
you backpedal like a child into 'IDGAF', seriously I had flashbacks to high school debates.
you reiterate that you think I'm somehow brainwashed by the CIA into thinking communism is bad (which isn't even remotely what I said)
you more or less call me a fascist
I was wrong to communicate with you at all, you are an idiot child.
Look at you pulling out the numbered list like a BIG BOY!
See, now try to imagine if you put even that much effort into figuring out what other low-hanging CIA propaganda you fell for!!
You poor thing.
So I'm getting that I should just lead with this when I address the clueless like you on Lemmy?
Would that work better for you?
I was trying to be nice, but if you require that kind of thing, I'm not yucking anybodies yum.
You Idiot Child.
If that's you trying to be nice you need to get some therapy. Great job proving you aren't a child, by the way — with the 'I'm rubber you're glue' argument. Very intelligent, your points are very valid. I'd give you a gold star but I'm fresh out, darn.
LOL
As if you deserve more.
You don't even realize you're propagandized by the CIA.
LOL
