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!

Well, yeah. Any kind of change requires a coordinated effort to get enough attention for something to happen.
True but if we switched sides here for a moment the left would be yelling foul play and I'm a Democrat. Just lots of visible hypocrisy
No we wouldn't and also no you aren't
Congrats, look what You've done

You think this actually did anything good? Seriously? If there was a case against Democrats and Republicans did this exact same thing you guys would be spewing about how they're trying to stop justice and messing with the legal system. Nothing good was done by this.
And yes, you can actually be a Democrat but see outside the echo chamber of social media. How about you let Jack Smith do what he's trying to do and not allow this bullshit to be cheered on.
Now please tell me why I can't be a Democrat just because I decide to call something out that obviously will do no good for anyone? I would love to hear it. It's crazy how if you don't fit all the criteria on social media of the echo chamber you suddenly can't be what you claim. It's so hypocritical, especially for Democrats to say shit like that
Guess what? You're actually allowed to criticize your own political party believe it or not. The Democratic party isn't supposed to be a cult but when you aren't even allowed to criticize your own party it really starts to look like one doesn't it?
