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!

Seeing this shit every day is what's going to push me over the edge. Nothing is ever going to go back to boring politicians unless we slap these dudes in their bare butt, back, and balls. They'll just keep doing this illegal shit until someone physically stops them.
This just shows how unpopular they know they really are. And hopefully that there is still a chance for a fair election next year... I'm taking all this to mean that they are scared of losing power and what that will mean for their plans so they are doing this desperately sketchy illegal shit.
Hopefully they overplayed their hand, the people will show up to vote and smack them down with a nice 'mandate', and we can start arresting everyone starting at the top.
I hope more than anything that you are right
One problem is there don't seem to be a lot of strong left wing candidates. There's Zohran for NYC mayor, and.... AOC I think is a mixed but on the whole good bag, I think? Sanders is like a million years old, but could be worse.
Yeah, pretty much. We're nearing the point of necessity of underground resistance groups...and they'll try to tell you you're a terrorist and so is your group. But, make no mistake, its projection. These asshats in charge right now are the terrorists, and fascist dickwads trying to tear down the entire system we've built over the last 250 years. Stay safe, and try not to get yourself killed.
