Don’t care bud. It’s our election. Your opinion is irrelevant to me. Didn’t read any of that.

If you think that your opinion of our election should be relevant to us- then you must advocate for the fact that my opinion of your opinion is also relevant.

Or you can stop posting about it.

And nice little meme there bud, but 2007 called and even they think that shit is cringy.

Do you know what an ad hominem fallacy is? I bet you think you do, but since you keep committing them, I’m going to remind you:

An ad hominem fallacy is when you completely ignore the argument in favor of illogically focusing on the person making the argument or an irrelevant aspect of that person. It’s frowned upon by people who like to argue logically and it’s uncivil to boot.

Now back to our regularly scheduled programming!

If you think that your opinion of our election should be relevant to us- then you must advocate for the fact that my opinion of your opinion is also relevant.

Nope. Whether I’m from Denmark, Denver, or Djibouti has no bearing on the soundness of my arguments.

Your irrelevant feelings about the fact that I can read and form opinions about conditions without showing up in person doesn’t even qualify as an opinion.

It’s just a knee jerk xenophobic reaction or an excuse to keep yammering at me without saying anything.

Or you can stop posting about it.

Nope. You’re not the boss of me. You don’t decide what I can or cannot do.

2007 called and even they think that shit is cringy.

Late 90s called, they want their “x called, they want their y back” format back. Careful you don’t drown in your own hypocrisy.

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!
