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!

No one in all of America wants the fucking borders open for literally everyone
That is not the only other option to Biden using executive actions to make some stupid shit trump did actual law....
I get that's it's early, but why did that need explained?
Who the fuck told you that? And why would you ever believe them?
Exactly what I'm saying, almost no one wants totally open boarders so people attacking Biden for not doing that are ridiculous.
Left purity culture doesn't care about reality, Biden has done reasonable things but it doesn't matter because no one looks to check if they agree they simply assume that it must be bad because government bad. Biden bad, everyone but me bad...
This is why people don't say what they actually want, they don't support anything - open boarders bad, restrictions on boarders bad, closed boarders bad... you can be against everything when your only defining principle is that you'll always consider yourself more radical or better than anyone else.
I don't think so...
I'm saying when that is presented as what people want Biden to do, and anyone complaining about his recent illegal moves wants, it's bullshit.
It's like when Faux News says Biden is a communist.
The media does this, so that you think their views are nonsensical and you dismiss them without actually listening to them.
You're falling for it...
Because you're still acting that anyone against Biden's recent border actions, could only want fully open borders. When literally no one serious wants fully open borders.
Yes but the people complaining are largely people who would complain about literally anything - if its pizza for dinner then he's bad for not making pasta, if it's pasta then we wanted soup...
Most people know it's pointless to take them seriously because they're not being serious, they're simply trying to use the strongest words to condemn every single position and action he takes because their underlying self image is based on seeing themselves as better and more moral than the rest of society.
This is hugely common, Christians do it all the time - im too holy and moral to have time to spare to participate in society... it'd a cop out and nothing more.
You're acting like human rights abuses in multiple countries that also break US law is just a big ole "nothing burger"...
And I don't think I'm going to be able help here
