Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. 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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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!

Trump's response would have been "won't somebody rid me of these troublesome Democrats?"

You're right! It happened a few days ago, but his threat was slightly more specific:

TBH, I didn't particularly like this response. I think it might have been better if she had welcomed them, and mentioned something about learning about the real world or something.

To me it was needlessly divisive. "You don't belong here, go back to where you are welcome" is how it came off, which feels especially wrong coming from a black woman.

Lol, who the fuck are you to dictate what is our isn't uncouth for a black woman to say?

which feels especially wrong coming from a black woman.

What I'm hearing is that you are both racist and sexist.

Fascist detected.

It depends on what they were there for. If it’s just to be hecklers and be disruptive, then ridicule them.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I get you there. There's also an argument for taking the high ground, but I guess the bar is super low given the competition.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

People are tried of "taking the high ground" when Republicans have spent the last 20 years taking the low ground.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 weeks ago

I absolutely see both points here. But maybe do both? Like “Are you sure you aren’t supposed to be at the smaller rally across the street but you’re welcome to stay if you really care about the country and want to join the good guys”

Woah wasn't expecting the hate here. Just pointing out that we don't need more division.
