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 on the left are finished with trying to discuss, or find common ground, with the right There is no such thing. The right wing does not discuss in good faith, and they don't believe in words. Hypocrisy doesn't phase them and they have no shame. They will abandon a principle the moment it inconveniences them.
And frankly the world sees who you look up to, so if I were you I wouldn't be slinging around accusations of stupidity.
Lmao do you think I'm on the right?
Corpocrats are just as hopeless as MAGA.
I am baffled by this comment...corpocrat?
Where do you get this idea that I am pro corpo or pro Dem?
This is such a funny moment of a liberal being unable to comprehend the political spectrum.
I was agreeing with you.
Apologies for the friendly fire then comrade
All good homie. I know how it is out here.
I don't think it matters, to be honest.
Well it kinds does. Critique from the right will never lead to the reforms we need it will just be minorly improved shitty options because they will never substantially threaten the powers of capital that control our government.
I don't think either side has accepted where they are and what needs to be done, regardless of how you got there.
It's too late to talk about what the laws and regulations should be. Laws are irrelevant. The time to affect ideological change has passed, you missed the window. Even if you're right about the causes, and I believe you and I would agree on that, those discussions are over. At this point it's just more navel gazing and blaming that distracts from what needs to be done.
I disagree. Now more than ever ideological change in this country is a necessity. How do you suggest we get out of this without fundamentally changing the character of the politics in this country?
