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!

AGod fucking damnit greed makes liberals stupid.
They're too blinded by aipac money to simply recognize,
Genocide BAD, Actually!
Especially when it's hypocritical genocide being enacted by a demographic who should know better than to do that to others after having survived it themselves.
But it's not that they're unable; it's that they're UNWILLING. They would literally rather see the entire country burn to the fucking ground than let actual progressive policy happen. They figured out that it's easier to make money by LOSING elections than by winning them. Even when they have full control of all government branches, they STILL play "good cop bad cop" and do nothing but point out they can just let the bastard pig Republicans back into to room to beat the shit out of us if we don't like their own pig bastard behavior.
BIDEN APPOINTED A MASSIVE ELECTION LOSER TO THE HEAD OF THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY. THE CAMPAIGN IN QUESTION ONLY SUCCEEDED IN WASTING HALF A BILLION DOLLARS, AND FOR WHAT? FOR WHOSE BENEFIT? I'LL FUCKING TELL YOU: The "consultancy" class. All those fat juicy advertising contracts. All the money squandered on hiring "strategists" so that they can pay themselves even more later when THEY become lobbyists or "strategy consultants" themselves after they've finished their tour sucking the corporate cock while occupying public office. They even blacklist any agency that accepts any work from a primary election challenger to protect their incumbent corpo puppet because it's the linchpin of their whole grift.
By all means I'm going to vote as a matter of principle to get the bad cop out of the room but until that fucker is DEAD and never coming back these assholes will never budge. The only way America survives is if the Democrat party fractures and replaces the Republicans in the two party system BECAUSE THERE WILL ALWAYS BE TWO PARTIES IN FIRST-PAST-THE-POST, so that only then can there at least even TEMPORARILY be progressive representation of any sort in the government...
So basically in other words this country is already dead but doesn't fully know it yet, and any effort i exert now is merely due diligence out of duty and propriety while i otherwise cobble together a raft to get the fuck OFF this sinking ship.
