politics
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've held my nose and voted D every election since I was eligible to vote.
Except 08 when I was excited to vote for Obama.
If you think progressives dont hold their nose and vote for the lesser evil, then I think you've been just listening to what billionaire owned media corporations are telling you...
And, in case you haven't noticed, the wealthy will do/say anything to stop progressives.
I clouding spreading the propaganda you seem to believe.
Calm the fuck down, we're on the same side in our personal politics. But seriously if you actually think our system of government is valid and should be restored, you can't fucking blame the Dems for playing by the rules to uphold the fucking system while fuckboi Republicans shit all over the board and strut around like they won. So you need to figure out what you believe and then understand the actual processes involved. Because 98 percent of the blame for everything happening right now is squarely on the voters who either want this or were too privileged to take a basic fuckin interest in civics. Joe fucked up with Comey and Mueller and could have been more vocally aggressive. Legally there was fuckall else he could actually do because, say it with me, fuckass republican obstruction.
This is the problem...
You keep acting like Biden did everything he could but failed.
I'm saying he made a half-assed attempt to "look into" it, with no plans of following through.
Which has been the neoliberal playbook for decades.
Why are you still trusting neoliberals and the billionaires who pay them to obstruct progress like this?
I'm not trying to change your mind about anything. Im trying to understand what logic someone followed to have your views.
