SE Hoya Containment Thread (aka Politics)
Welcome to the Official SE Politics Thread. The aim here is for high quality political discussion and debate. The concomitant aim here is for that high quality discussion and debate to NOT devolve into MAD posting, BAD posting, trolling, name-calling our community fracture.
We embark on this project hoping to encourage fair and thorough exchanges of views, and also fair and thorough advocacy for positions. We should learn a lot.
Rules
1. Posters are required to have 50 posts in SE over the last 365 days. This thread is not a proxy for the Politics forum, or an arena for goal-based issue advocacy from people we don't even know.
2. Pure devil's advocacy will not be tolerated unless it is identified by that poster as the aim of the particular post. There will be no run of the mill nitpickery for the sake of nitpickery.
3. This will be enforced loosely, but you are obligated to outline your basic position on whatever issue you're debating. We will not have loaded, gotcha-style internet-standard race to the bottom terrible posting in this thread. That does not mean you have to state every closely-held belief in every debate. You just can't hide the ball. "I'm not sure what my position is" is a completely valid position to hold.
4. Insults are out. You will not resort to that in this thread, because that will ruin this thread.
5. If you demonstrate an ongoing commitment to lowering the quality of discourse through incessant trolling or simply being really terrible, you'll be removed from this thread.
6. These are subject to significant revision as this thread develops.
There is a tradition in SE of better, fuller, funnier discussion of a really wide range of topics. Let's continue that here.

So far Musk and friends have said USAID:
* Paid celebs to visit Ukraine
* Gave Chelsea Clinton $84 million for something
* Created Transgender Mice to promote the WOKE AGENDA!
* Paid to cause Covid-19
* Secretly funded Politico and made them write positive Dem stories
* Sent millions of condoms to Gaza/The Taliban
And I'm sure a bunch more I missed. Of course, they're all false and were presented without evidence, but I'm sure this claim is legit.
The worst part of all this is the total inability/unwillingness of the media to pushback against this obvious nonsense.
Well, the worst part is probably the concentration camps, but this is bad too.
If you’re a Palestinian-American, a middle eastern American or you have family or friends impacted by Gaza and you sat out the election or refused to support Kamala I can’t possibly sit here and blame you
If you’re some ****boi edgelord white dude and you decided to vote trump cuz GAZA BRO! GENOCIDE BRO! I’m good off thinking you’re a serious person who should be taken seriously
