Okay, so, I wasn't going to submit these here because I've really had quite enough of politics for the year but it seems the mainstream media are having an absolute blackout on anything critical of Hillary, to the point of CNN has both coincidentally lost a sitting congressman's satellite feed immediately after mentioning wikileaks and tried to tell their viewers that even reading the wikileaks emails is illegal.
These two videos by Project Veritas Action, apparently with more to come, are the result of a year or so of actual investigative journalism and deserve coverage somewhere though. I don't personally care at all if you like Hillary or not but it's always better to know the truth than to stick your head in the sand, so here they are.
The first part in the series is titled Clinton Campaign and DNC Incite Violence at Trump Rallies. It basically shows precisely what it says it does. Hidden cameras capture Scott Foval of Americans United for Change not so much admitting as bragging that they have operatives in numerous major cities that are actually trained in how best to incite violence at Trump rallies.
The second part of the series is again aptly titled Mass Voter Fraud. In this video Scott Foval is again captured going into minute detail on how not only go commit mass voter fraud but how to get away with it.
Scott Foval and Robert Creamer (also in the videos) are currently unemployed as a result of these videos. Whether Mrs. Clinton should be as well, that's for you to decide.

I've submitted several articles about shady Trump crap. They've all been rejected. So before someone chimes in with the "post it yourself" crap I'm here to say I have.

Have to talk to an ed about that. I don't push stories out, just occasionally submit them.
My rights don't end where your fear begins.

Awwww, man - we've all had stories rejected. So, submit 30 stories, and they'll feel sorry, and take that 30th. (Don't submit the same exact story 30 times, switch it up a little bit!)

At the moment we are getting plenty of 'politics' stories. The balance of the site is roughly 70% STEM, and 30% other topics likely to interest our community. That 30% covers everything that we can't stretch into STEM, and that covers a lot of topics. To be published, your politics submission would have to be better than most of the others and likely to provoke an intelligent discussion.
We simply don't need any more bashing of one candidate or another. As a site, we do not support either of the 2 main candidates - or anyone else for that matter. But please, for those of us (Americans and others) who have already had our fill of this election, make the submissions interesting and relevant so that we can all enjoy them. Discussions that result in two camps throwing accusations and pointing fingers at each other do not offer anything to the majority of our community.
I don't recall your particular submissions but there again I do try to read subs without regard to the submitter - it gives everyone a fair chance of making a contribution to the site. And we do try to give a reason now when we reject a story. I'm sure that we don't get it right all of the time, but we are trying to keep the site on the path that was agreed over 2 years ago, while also trying to make enough coverage of those stories which do not fit easily into the technical slant of this site.
