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!

And how'd it work out for the Pres. that ended Slavery again, I forget?
Don't see how this is relevant
Were Biden stupid enough to follow your advice to not worry about "the norm" as you put it, the same results. The only way to get actual change without disastrous consequences is to build popular, ie not a tiny minority of a very very few, support. Cutting ties with Israel both removes all our influence and assures a much larger blow back by the far larger number of folks that would view it as a betrayal. Voting third party is a waste of time until there is ranked choice or some similar. Not Voting to teach the Dems a lesson gets us another round of every more disastrous results. In 2016 this exact same idiocy resulted in the loss of Women's Bodily Autonomy.
But the naive morally superior fools, provided they are not just shrubbery like the source of most of the talking points, in this thread would simply remove more protections for more minority groups.
Shocking.
Well, I mean you remember him as the president that ended slavery, if that wasn’t the most impressive thing about him then you probably have said said president who got shot in the theater by that actor
