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.

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.

The war on the working class is over and decisively won by the oligarchs. They started it over 30 years ago and today we're seeing the end stages of their plans.
Rising up to fight now is all but futile; they have their surveillance states and police apparati firmly in place. I fear the only way to change the situation is if people from within would stand with us... no idea how to pull that off however.
Yeah nah get fucked with this defeatist shit. We have many tools at our disposal. The General Strike for one. We’re not gonna just give up this world to some fucking cringe pedophile loser who cheats at video games.
I remember I read about people using guillotines somewhere…
You could start by NOT sowing despair.
Dude, look over the world. Much more oppressive regimes with more control have ended with revolutions.
To be honest, what seems to be coming closer is a period of civil unrest in the US, which may end with either with people Musk and Bezos hanging from the streetlights or full civil war. The recession that Trump is producing right now only lets the wealthy raid the coffers if the poor still have something to lose in the process. Once that's gone, shit will go down.
I agree the first war is over but it doesn't mean we can't start a second.
Problem now is that americans see themselves as consumers, not workers.
Yes what we should really do is pray someone else who is benefiting from the system will save us 🙏🙏🙏 ^/s^
You say that like people aren't elevating AOC in this thread
If you’re just going to demotivate people, maybe keep it to yourself and don’t post.
Eh. Until they remove the second amendment, there's lots left to be done.
