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!

Let’s hope they don’t perform to the dictator’s standards and are sent for “reeducation”
A billionaire with probably more money than they'll ever need forever... but somehow that's not enough and needs more kickbacks. Ass!
At that level of wealth, it isn't always about greed. Many of these guys think they're changing their country for the better by promoting conservatism.
If you had that kind of bank, wouldn't you throw money at liberal politicians? I would.
At that level of wealth your entire motivation for living has been greed and no amount of money satisfies greed. They're expecting a return on that donation for sure.
When's the eat the rich dinner party?
I wonder how long the ROI is.🤔
Would be interesting if all politicians had to share one pool of cash for campaigning, though it would be nice if individual people could still choose one politician
We need money out of politics, but it's not going to happen because moderates Dems and Republicans both take advantage of it.
We won't be able to fix it till progressives are the majority, and we're having difficulty because dirty money goes into primaries too where it's even more impactful.
If you bring in lots of money (shady was doesn't matter) you get leadership positions.
That's why Jaime Harrison is is running the DNC despite not knowing how to win an election.
The system is built around money, not votes.
this guy with the both sides stuff. Was the Citizens United political action committee that brought the case supporting Republicans or Democrats? Of the nine justices which ones voted against it?
Money is not fucking free speech
My employer does not fucking pay me in free speech
I can't fucking take my free speech to the bank and cash it
