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!

People don't care for the truth, all the fact checking libs did was for naught and the only real duty of the press at this point is to make cash money
The problem is they stop at:
trump is lying
Progressives tend to be more like:
trump is lying, this is what will actually help people and we should do it.
Neoliberals believe themselves to be the authority, and take it so far they expect everyone else to treat them as the defacto authority. They get upset when people don't just go along with it without any explanation. Then they double down and start talking about how the Dem party doesn't need you if you're not 100% behind their pick with unquestionable loyalty.
For fucks sake, Biden literally told one of the largest African American radio hosts:
A staffer interjected that Biden needed to go, and Charlamagne shot back: “You can’t do that to black media!”
“I do that to white media and black media because my wife has to go on at 6 o’clock,” Biden said, referring to his wife Jill Biden apparently needing to use the broadcast studio they’ve built in their basement in Delaware as the coronavirus pandemic has knocked Biden off the campaign trail. Glancing at his watch, Biden said, “uh oh, I’m in trouble.”
Charlamagne told Biden that he should come to the studio in New York City for another interview, telling the former vice president that “we’ve got more questions.”
“You’ve got more questions?” Biden replied. “Well I tell you what, if you have a problem figuring out whether you’re for me or Trump, then you ain’t black.”

That wing of the party refuses to work for votes. If you don't already support them they just get pissed.
It's a terribly ineffective way to run a campaign, and why trump is now a two term president and Biden was only a short reprieve that didn't really fix anything
That wing of the party refuses to work for votes. If you don't already support them they just get pissed.
When the other party is actively trying to hurt you, they should get pissed. "If Hindenburg doesn't work for our vote, we're supporting Hitler." - Jews for Hitler.
Steven Miller and Pete Hegseth are proud white nationalists. Trump never apologized to the Central Park 5.
No one should do anything for you to stop those from being in power.
this is only going to get worse and worse, until finally the only thing that exists is state-run "news" outlets
they're not saying out loud, but taking over the press and every possible source of information is going to be one of their absolute top priorities
The media won't actually be state-run, because that would be "Communism". But it will be run by the same Broligarchs that are running the country. So, not really much of a difference.
Yeah, but check out who owns all the media already. This has been the case for like centuries.
This has always been the case. Except it's mostly capitalist media with the usual violent support from the state.
If you think "truth" is a purpose of capitalist media, then I have really bad news for you.
