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!

Fetterman is a disgrace I flipping hate this dude
Hes not your enemy. If you're a constituent, he is your employee. Give his office a call and let them know how you expect him to perform.
Those are not mutually exclusive. You could say the same thing about Trump, who is simultaneously the president of the US, and an enemy to the US.
I mean, do call the fucker, but he is 100% a traitor and an enemy to our country.
Does calling his office actually do anything? Doesn't that require him not to be a traitor?
Calling Congress tends to result in a report from staff about constituent sentiment. It's a meaningful thing which can sometimes shift things on the margin — it's rarely enough on its own.
If they bother to pick up the phone. Which is more than I can say for my two senators.
Nothing wrong with showing up at their local office in person with a crowd. Ive done that before
Our their homes. At their kids birthday parties. Whatever it takes.
Probably not, and no.
So I am one of Jeanne Shaheen's constituents (and, NH being a small state, I've met her more than once)
I just sent her office a constituent note
This letter is better written than 90% of politicans can speak.
We need more fucking leftists running for stuff. Local elections!
We MUST form the left Tea Party and fucking get rid of all the dead democratic weight that's blocking progress
Shaheen is more leftist than me
It’s not like I can tell him not to come into work on Monday and hire someone else
He is a disgrace and a disappointment. But, who was he running against? Oz. Oz didn't even live in the state who and was more pro-Trump than Fetterman the time. So, the choice was between overtly pro-Trump Oz who was living in New Jersey or Pa-living Fetterman who wasn't overtly pro-Trump until after the stroke.
