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!

Is that bcz of empathy? Normal people have it, and the rich don't, and their idiot followers aren't smart enough to realize they're being manipulate?
It’s because modern conservatives are less concerned about facts.
Republicans claim climate change is a hoax; the reality is that climate change is already causing measurable damage around the planet.
Republicans claim Haitian immigrants are eating dogs and cats; the reality is they aren’t.
Republicans claim Democrats want to abort newborn infants. The reality is this is illegal everywhere.
Republicans claim illegal immigration and crime area crisis. Reality is the numbers are actually trending down.
Republicans claim supply side economics worse. Reality is that supply side economics does not work and Democratic presidents perform better on every economic measure.
Republicans have recently claimed that schools are doing trans surgeries on kids without their parents’ permission and immigrants have a direct phone line to Kamala Harris in exchange for illegal votes. Reality is that those are too stupid to garner a serious response.
So yeah, reality happens to have a liberal bias when conservatives are trying to out-stupid each other.
It’s because liberals/leftists are more likely to actually account for reality in policy
Policies based on their feelings instead of facts.
Who won the 2020 election,?
What point do you think you are making? You may need to reread the comment chain.
The president
The rich might have empathy abd a poor might not. Those without empathy and are rich/powerful becomes the worst though as they don't feel fear or anxiety and has no feelings for fellow humans.
