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!

Most Americans trust the republicans to harm immigrants more than they do the democrats.
Democrats cannot outflank the republicans from the right.
Who says they need to outflank from the right? Literally all she has to say is that she'll do the thing the republicans wanted and tanked on Donnie dipshits orders. That's going too far as is for most left people on here, but it seems to be what the base wants, and all you really have to do is point out any of the myriad of times they've said something and done fuck all or intentionally killed it because it had democrats support.
Making the voters think the right is untrustworthy (because they are) has much more impact than trying to outflank.
That's what the democrats are trying to do when they agree that classical republican policies are actually good and we need to do them.
The people who were pro-immigration in every election until like 2022, but now support mass deportation want whatever the democrats tell them they want.
For some reason, the democrats have been telling them they want republican policies.
If meeting the republicans in the middle counts as trying to outflank them from the right, I don't think you and I can have a productive conversation. This is disagreement on the meaning of basic terms and I'm not willing to try to hash out what words mean today.
Good day.
