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!

There's a huge group of people on this site that wants to make sure people don't vote democrat in the midterms so republicans can win and continue with their plans.
2024: Now is not the time. If you want to build third party support, then you'll need to do it between presidential elections.
2026: lol you believed that? Wait for a more convenient season.
Where was the party building between 2024 and 2026 though?
After all these years shouldn’t there be something?
MAGA took over the GOP but it’s too hard for leftists?
How much budget do you think these candidates have to start campaigning a year out? We never stopped party building.
MAGA didn't "take over" the GOP. This is who they always were, ever since we failed at Reconstruction. You didn't really believe any of that tea party small government stuff, did you?
They have exactly how much budget as you give them.
How about stop making excuses?
Please go back to the site where Democrats are hailed as heroes you think they are.
This is the fediverse not your backyard circlejerk where we had to be scared of offending yankistani status quo anymore.
Fuck Republicans, Fuck Democrats, FUCK THE USA and anyone who enable violence to minorities, that includes China, Russian, Israel, Iran and other authoritarian regimes.
You had decades and decades to fix your binary election system but anyone who thinks otherwise are the problem? How bloody convenient, huh? Just throw over some blame from days of coldwar and feel smug.
Yeah fuck that noise.
What do you think is the answer for the us midterms that are happening this year?
I’d love to hear you out.
You said, after you defended Biden not arresting Trump for treason.
Do you want presidents to have the power to arrest people?
Do you want them to be judge, jury and executioner?
Look, last I checked the roll of the executive branch in the rule of law was to enforce the laws passed by congress and upheld by the judicial system. It's pretty clear that the entire process of bringing Trump and his ilk to trial was slow walked by the DOJ under Merrick Garland, appointed by Biden. That's not judge, jury, or executioner, it's their roll as the DOJ.
Jack Smith was pretty far into his investigation when the American people collectively decided they didn’t care and voted Trump back into office.
Unfortunately real life isn’t like CSI and most investigations take years much less ones that involve the president without any clear legal precedent and a hostile SCOTUS.
You have become very sober lately Satan. I hope circumstance change enough so that you can go back to shit posting.
I’ve never shitposted.
Hmph. The Republicans are too soft to win this game of FFA.
