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!

Great read. Too exhausted right now to finish it. These fascists need to meet more resistance so I can sleep at night... It's real hopeless hours out here, but I guess that's what they want.
Yeah that crazy guy yavin.is becoming more correct. It'll be bloodless revolution if the left let's it be.
I'm afraid if you want change were fast gonna have to become confrontational.
A good hard economic crash can do the same thing, though it’s not really bloodless either. Even if it doesn’t really hurt billionaires, it gets more people upset and changes things.
I’m afraid it’s going to have to be a really bad and long one to make any meaningful long term change though. Like I might not see the end of it, being in my mid 40s.
The trouble is it might not get bad enough for change until the boomers really die off, but not until they absorb or eliminate most of social security and Medicare’s funding.
Also even if the voters wake up and are allowed to change Congress and the president, we’re still stuck with the fuckbag Supreme Court. It needs reforming in parallel with campaign finance, proportional representation, first past the post, and the EC.
