Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- 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:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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!

I am all for it... but I wish people would get this passionate about healthcare, the environment, education, housing, and all the other things that are suffering in our society.
Literally anything that actually matters.
A pedophile ring for the 1% in which everyone knows they're doing it and no one does anything to stop it doesn't matter?
I'd argue a pedophile ring isn't as important as stopping an environmental collapse or making sure the entire population has access to Healthcare. The irony being the 1% a responsible for all of them
You know we can do more than one thing, right? Like, it’s not one guy who has to go around arresting the pedophiles, fixing climate change, and establishing wealth equality. In fact, no one person is expert enough in all three to really be the person for the job!
We can do this all at the same time. Take a breath and stop getting in the way of something that is finally starting to see results.
You say that but how well does governments handle multiple problems at once? In a perfect world we could but this world is far from perfect
Really well? Most governments might show off one at a time but have you ever heard of a thing called a “department” and that there are several of them of them doing different things?
Yeah funny how those with an excess of wealth and a lack of morals seem to be behind so many terrible things in the world...
It doesn't matter what your cause of choice is, someone is always going to say something else is more important. However, saying human trafficking doesn't matter at all? That's a pretty dickish statement.
I agree, it would be nice if Republicans cared about more of these things, but human trafficking is also a major issue.
No humans to traffic if the ecosystem collapses. There is a scale of what problems are most important. I'd agrue preventing the destruction of our species is more important than any crime committed by a group of individuals. That being said you don't just ignore all the other problems. You just prioritize one over the other
It doesn't if the Kingpin of that ring is a king above the law. Literally a waste of time.
Kings are for courts and guillotines.
So addressing this problem can also help address another problem?
