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!

You think the oligarchs that put Trump in office will stop with the US? Better keep an eye on your own politicians
At least I didn't grow up having to do active shooter drills in school and I don't live in fear of risking bankruptcy for a trip to the hospital or praying that my employer doesn't wake up feeling like firing me.
If your nation is capitalist, just add a yet on to any of those.
Yet, my quality of life has been better than that of any given American in a comparable income bracket.
Yeah yeah thats great and completely misses the point. See you in five years when you are blind sided.
I'm not missing the point. It takes a special kind of misery to tell someone "you'll be like us in 5 years".
And even though I may, I would have still lived a better life without having been forcefed a bunch of propaganda about being the pinnacle of human history.
You've got blinders on. I'm trying to warn you that you are not immune. Canadian's especially have their foot coming in the door we just walked through. Capitalism always turns into faacism, always.
Probably more like in 10-15 years, but yeah. They're definitely missing the point. 20-30 years ago nobody would have thought something like modern day America could have happened.
I mean people did, they've been ringing the alarm bells since the 70s. Its happening in Canada too. Anywhere a corporation lurks under capitalism is in danger of becoming what we are. Be vigilant. Dont be capitalist.
Modern-day America makes sense, though. It may have become stale, but it was literally built on genocide and slavery: the whole tragedy and farce thing.
The entirety of the North America, and Central America is built on genocide dude. Thats not a USA only thing. Weak excuse from a fellow settler colonial nation resident.
