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!

Why, for people like you? People whod snitch on me in a heartbeat, and arent worth it in any case?
Tell you what, if im still alive when its too late, and you realize it needed to happen, ill scold you for being anadventurist and tell you why its too late. Then ill watch you fight for me. Wont that be a fun reversal?
You've been explaining "why" such a revolution is important from the get-go. Now you're denying all those reasons for the sake of a petty jab.
You know full well why it's important. You're just angry at receiving a call to action, despite sitting around calling others to action.
Now look, do you want us to fix this mess or not? Because if you sincerely do, you should understand why in-fighting between those with a common cause isn't helpful. Tearing down people who are trying their best and asking for help, or who are celebrating small wins because that's the best they've got, serves no use to anyone. OP's absolutely right that we need suggestions to get the ball rolling. We're at a stage now where we're still organizing, which is hard when authoritarians have access to monitor practically everything in this country.
Think about it - we can't just make a webpage or online group for like-minded people to meet up at. We have to go out to meet people and talk face-to-face. That takes a lot of time. Our best shot at networking is at the protests (which plenty of people who've never been to one criticize as "useless.")
If there are reasonable ways to catalyze such a movement, we'd appreciate being made aware of them. Right now, online warriors seem to think that one person can become an instant hero, despite having zero logistics for how that's supposed to realistically happen. If you happen to have knowledge of such logistics, please share them. That way we can all move toward the future that we all want.
Im okay dying in a shitty apartment to a 2 am police raid.
Its true i have never been outside. Yes.
You need to actuwlly do things, rather than deciding on a fuhrer and asking himto get things done. Thats not helpful. Its more than unhelpful because that system is theirs. There epsteinists to kill, but theres also train tracks to lay and agriculture to fix etc. None of it means shit until all of its in motion.
Lol. You guys are hilarious. You won't do something as simple as voting against the Nazi candidate, but you expect other people to fight a revolution for you.
In what world do you think that people who fight a revolution (that you seemingly won't participate in) will give you a seat at the table to create the next government?
Id rather there not be a next government and im not sure how id feel about shaping one.
Go live in the sticks then and get off the internet. If all you're doing is complaining, then you're part of the problem and not part of the solution.
Theres still a government there.
Snitch? Wtf is this take
Libs snitch like crazy if they think someones too radical, even if theyre not doing anything illegal. Lost a few people to that.
No
Okay i guess they werent really my friends, i dont have those, i dont think thry liked me much, but i did like them.
