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!

Sorry I ran out of sympathy for the working class.
You reap what sow and you deserve what you get.
They're getting exactly what they asked for.
A racist, misogynist, greedy America, to match what they look like on the inside.
Centrists have had no sympathy for the working class for decades. You're just saying the quiet part out loud now.
Why should they? The working class doesn’t want to look out for itself, so why should they get any different then what they deserve?
The working class you've always hated voted for them in 2020. And then "Whoops! We don't have the votes lol!" for minimum wage and childcare.
Democrats used the working class, gave them nothing in return, and then told them that they should be happy because the economy is doing great for billionaires. And now you're acting like they're ingrates for not appreciating it.
I'm working class and I very much want to look out for myself. I didn't vote for this. I vote for the most progressive candidates I can every 2 years. Do I deserve to suffer the consequences of others actions?
Why does this news justify blatant classism for you?
Because I’m tired of eating shit because other people are too fucking stupid to know any better.
At this point all I do is resent you people.
And all I do is resent the billionaire class, who are actively extracting all of our wealth. I didn't ask about your feelings though. I asked why you think the recent election justifies blatant classism against the working class.
Who exactly is "you people"?
Well I literally just told you. No point in having a conversation with someone that can’t read.
