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!

Whether you like it or not, you can't say members of the Republican party are not beholden to their voters. Can't say as much for the Democrats, which is why they keep losing.
That's bullshit. They are beholden to Russia. They don't give one fuck about any of their voters.
We are witnessing a Russian attack on our democracy. They are using Americans against us. These people are the enemies within.
Is that not in tandem with Trump voters' shift to Russia? "I'd rather be Russian than a Democrat" and Trump voters talking about plans to immigrate to Russia if Trump lost are things I seem to remember in recent years.
My original point was not to claim that Republican politicians necessarily care about what their base wants, but they do seem to understand that they have to at least campaign heavily on populist issues to get elected. And that disloyalty to Trump is met with rabid outrage from their base.
Is it so hard to believe Republicans are just shitty people? Why do you need the idea of a puppet master controlling them?
Yeah both are true. Putin is very clearly giving the orders, here.
Clearly in what sense?
Telling Trump to pick Tulsi Gabbard, another Russian intelligence operative to be the Director of National Intelligence.
We are so fucked.
It can be two things
They voted for better economy and we're dicking around making Gaetz AG. No, this is not for "the voters" it's to waste tax dollars persecuting Trump's political opponents
The qons are only beholden to the most terminally online of the magabrainz. Oh, and their donors.
