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!

"I love how much drama she's causing."
That is cringe as fuck. Especially if you're an adult.
And in your scenario you're still wrong lol. I walk down the street and hear someone yelling and call them cringe. If they feel the need to come over and defend that to a random stranger that makes them even more cringe. How weird.
Cringe to you. But I do love how much drama she's causing. She made the dems so scared they financed a fucking commercial about there. I'm all for anything that shakes up the status quo.
You seem to be seeing "cringe" everywhere you look. That's a "you" problem, not a "me" problem, friend. Thank you! :)
So you love drama and you're excited that people are scared and worried about their future. You just like to shake things up like an cool anarchist.
Yeah dude, I called it right.
And nah, haven't called anyone cringe in a while, but the word just fits so well here.
I love political drama in the news, yes. And other people do too, that's why it's in the news. That's how news orgs make their money. They report on drama, then get clicks, then get paid.
I'm not scared of Trump. I don't care if he wins (I don't think he will though). I don't like him. I don't like Harris. So again, I like Jill Stein. Even tho I didn't vote for her.
You think it's cringe. Cool. But that doesn't make me a troll. That just makes me a person you are annoyed with. That's a different thing.
Yes and lots of people are racist. Just because a lot of people do something doesn't make it good. Take a look at what drama is, the anxiety, stress, and pain it can cause people who are actually tied up in it. I think it's fucked up to like that shit honestly.
You think you're not a troll. Cool. Doesn't make what I said any less true. It just makes me a person that said something you're annoyed with. That's a different thing. Hrmmm...
But it also doesn't make what you said any more true. You gave your opinion. I gave you mine. You called me names. I didn't call you names.
And if you think calling someone names is some line that is crossed I don't know what to say. I could be very, very mean to someone without calling them names but if they tell me to "stop you jerk" they're somehow worse or distinct? That's a really odd distinction but ok, you're welcome to your own world view.
And if you think that calling people names is NOT crossing a line in a forum, then I don't know what to say.
We have different opinions on that. Obviously.
Wait. So if I say to someone: "You seem very uneducated and unable to understand the most basic of concepts. I'm trying to talk to you and you sound like you've never had an intelligent conversation before. You sound like you've never talked to a person older than 5. I could explain this to my 10 year old and he could teach it to you. Would that be more your speed? You look like you can even begin to understand a single word I'm saying. You're lack of basic reasoning is hurting everyone around you and the world will be a better place when you're no longer in it."
And they say "you're a jerk" they've crossed a line? Not me? Jeeze man, yeah we do have a difference of opions.
That would be more my speed, yes.
Lol, fair enough. If you own it and stand by it not much I can say.
I ain't scared of Trump neither, brother! He's helping our cause of ending democracy so the devil-jesus can return to his rightful place on the throne. Something about duopolies too!!
Friend, once we end democracy, we can lock these people up! They cannot infringe on our rights like this. Shills unite!!!1
