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!

No because the way conservatives work is that they’ll complain only when things happen to them, and then completely shut up about it once they realize their side doesn’t care. They’ll take having things worse over speaking out against their own party. They are a cult and are not able to think for themselves.
If cult says double premiums are a good thing, they’ll privately grumble and then take it on the chin.
That's how they used to work. My dad decided to vote in a government that directly harms me and my siblings. Sad to see MTG being a better parent
She’s all talk but I promise you in a couple days she won’t mention this again at all.
I don’t know if this is entirely true. Have you heard about MTG rallying against healthcare cost increases?
A lot of R’s are just sports fans for their team. They only care about things that affect them because that’s the only way they can understand issues, lacking any sense of empathy necessary to “imagine” scenarios other people might be living with.
This moronic ape lady finally understands one of the issues. Might as well applaud her and hope others follow.
You’re correct but they fall in line. If the rest of conservatives are quiet and don’t care, they’ll accept the changes even if it hurts them. They’ll just blame “the liberals”. Just like they’ve always done.
