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!

good points, but the changes at their best help only the poor, or the people that make up to 4 times the poverty level which is only about 35k or 50k tops. then you have a section of society from50k to 100k who is mostly screwed and have to pony up everything for everything. They try to fix it, but fixing it for some is not fixing it, they must fix it for all if it’s going to make an impact.
So you're determined to make perfect the enemy of good. Maybe one day you'll learn the world just doesn't work that way, especially not when the party of con artists and grifters is willing to sabotage any initiative that might accomplish what you demand so you buy into the "both sides" bullshit.
why are you attacking me? make your arguments and let’s have a conversation. this seems like a cope out answer.
Because you're promoting the "both sides" bullshit, and I'm out of patience with it. If you want to see more progress, get out the vote. Stop repeating Republican talking points.
this mf in lemmy thinking is congress or the united nations, thinking he’s very productive by posting his thoughts into a browser.
Pot, meet Kettle.
If you want better responses, do better. It's already been explained to you in exhausting detail how you can't have your ideal world until we help create it, and still you persist in blaming Democrats for not having the power to do more even when they make the effort. So you'll have to excuse me if I'm not willing to waste my time repeating facts you already know.
did you started a movement yet that we all can join? or you mean let’s talk about it in Lemmy and hope it magically happens.

🤦♂️ my point from the beginning is that there are no good candidates to vote for. you can gather 30 million people but you can’t get a good candidate out there to vote for, which makes it useless. maybe go back and read ALL my comments? did you just made the bare minimum and read one comment to start arguing?
I read the whole thing, which is why my initial comment to you stands. You won't stop blaming Democrats unless you get the perfect candidate with the perfect policies, and that's never going to happen. So let me know when you grow up, and we can revisit this conversation then.
Goodbye.
wait, ok. which democrat has a campaign and can actually change everything I listed? name one.
