        Socialism ain’t the answer, bud. Capitalism sucks, but sucks less than socialism. We do need to have more regulated capitalism.

          You mean like mix in some socialist policies? Because that’s what always brings America back from the brink of utter collapse. It’s always been a balance between socialism and capitalism. The fucking red scare just erased labor and let the fucking vampires loose.

          No pure government style will work long term. If socialism isn’t the answer, capitalism also is not. I do agree that a ‘capitalist’ society with heavy, enforceable corporate regulations and well funded social programs would be ideal, though

          The downvotes are because you’re wrong intellectually, not emotionally.

          Just clarifying for you “bud”.

        They always apply — it’s if they are enforced or not. I do concur with your sentiment, though.

        If a law doesn’t apply to the rich, it’s not a law — it’s a poverty tax.

    Man, I sure do love living in a rapidly collapsing democracy.

    Not that it was a very functional democracy before. But now it’s worse, and thats pretty cool I guess 🙃

    Soap Box

    Ballot Box

    Jury Box

    We all know what’s left, right?

    They won’t step down peacefully.

    Remember how this country started folks.

    Arm yourselves.

    Never forget.

    If these idiotic hate-brained traitors can storm the capitol building to stop a free and fair election… we can do it to stop an actually fraudulent one.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

  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 US politics and contain quality and original content. Social Media adjacent hosts like Substack are allowed, but ONLY if they tie back to a company/subsidiary. No personal or friend group blogs and no self-promotion. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and re-hosted 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 other users of being bots or paid actors.
  3. No memes, trolling, misinformation, or low-effort posts/comments (including reposts). If you see posts like this that anger you, do not engage. Report, block, and live a happier life than they do. Any slap-fight is subject to comment removals. Fights full of rule violations will result in temporary bans to cool off.
  4. No manipulating votes via bots or alt accounts; this will result in permanent bans. 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 an account ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be permanently banned.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules and use critical thinking when reading, posting, and commenting. Users that repeatedly have 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. The reason(s) behind moderator action(s) are publicly available through the Modlog.
