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!

How bad it must suck to be a woman Republican right now or ever actually.
"Help! I'm locked in this room i locked myself in!"
Zero fuckin sympathy for her. Wanna make a stand? Switch parties.
Lol for real. They do have a way out of this though. They just need to move to the left of Democrats and balance things again.
I dunno sounds like a show to me. Get rid of the democrats by making Liz flip and run blue, pulling all the centers to the “left” and pushing everyone out. Suddenly the democrats are the old republicans ideas, and the republicans are super far right.
A win for the right wing.
The Democratic party taking over Republican policy started back with Clinton. He deported more than just about anyone else, ended welfare as we knew it, and balanced the federal budget.
The Democratic party simply beat the Republicans to death with their own policies. After Clinton the Republican party should have dissolved since they no longer had anything.
They have since reinvented themselves as low IQ extremists. It is sad to see what they have become but such is life. What blows me away is people still vote for them.
Technically, Obama holds the title as the president who deported the most people.
Black people saw the highest economic growth under Bill Clinton.
