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!

Team blue foolishly tried to govern in good faith. Meanwhile team obstruction are done now blocking supreme court nominations and bipartisan legislation, and are completing their metamorphosis from obstruction to plain old destruction. The slowest, most blatant coup in history and somehow no one was particularly interested in stopping it. With all the immigrants in concentration camps, storms and natural disasters spiralling out of control, sweetheart deals for iron fisted billionaires and the unraveling of public health, education, and runaway inflation, who will the scapegoat be when they control all three branches of government?
They weren't trying to government in good faith. Harris' own advisers advised against welcoming other war criminals into the fold, pushing to the right, and touring with someone that voted with Trump 75% of the time.
Again liberals hubris and arrogance caused them to lose.
I voted for Harris out of harm reduction, but let's not pretend both parties taking the corporate bribe money from wall street, and only fighting about how to address, if at all, the symptoms of our crony market capitalist economy leaves any room for good faith.
Anyone governing a people in good faith would protect the relatively powerless people from the whims and greed of the powerful capitalists and corporations. Both modern parties do the opposite and take the bribes.
This is America, we haven't dabbled in such things since FDR.
