    Pushing hard for those uninformed votes, I see. Anyone with an ounce of political knowledge could tell you republican policies are never anti-establishment.

      It used to be. Then Reagan got elected, and that’s the point they started to dismantle everything good about our government

      Also most fascist. Billionaires should not exist, and I have thoughts on the best way for those particular billionaires to not exist.

    We need a website that keeps track of these billionaires’ locations. It would be nice to keep an eye on our oligarchs’ on a day-to-day basis.

    Anti-establishment, LOL.

    WTAF. Only in upside down la-la land can a guy born with a helluva silver, no, platinum, spoon in his mouth, promising even more handouts to bazillionaires, be considered “anti-establishment”.

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.

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.

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.
