Politics
For civil discussion of US politics. Be excellent to each other.
Rule 1: Posts have the following requirements:
▪️ Post articles about the US only
▪️ Title must match the article headline
▪️ Recent (Past 30 Days)
▪️ No Screenshots/links to other social media sites or link shorteners
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. One or two small paragraphs are okay.
Rule 3: Articles based on opinion (unless clearly marked and from a serious publication-No Fox News or equal), misinformation or propaganda will be removed.
Rule 4: Keep it civil. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a jerk. It’s not acceptable to say another user is a jerk. Cussing is fine.
Rule 5: Be excellent to each other. Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, ableist, will be removed.
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7. No conjecture type posts (this could, might, may, etc.). Only factual. If the headline is wrong, clarify within the body.

You may be right, honestly. But I do think that there is a type of echo chamber (that we're in) that assumes people are informed or aware of things that should be obvious perhaps, but they don't see it for whatever reason. It's probably futile as you say, but I do like to at least leave the door cracked for the few that maybe just haven't gotten the right information yet. And you may ask, rightly so...how the hell can anyone be that ignorant in the 21st century? I submit that it's still very possible to have blinders on and make bad choices if your life has other priorities than what is deemed common knowledge.
It's frustrating, regardless of which viewpoint you take. We (society as a whole) could be so much better.
