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!

If moron Republicans were capable of learning the Republican party would have ceased to exist after Bush's two illegal wars, torture and crashing the economy.
Or Trump's stealing, raping, crashing the economy and mismanagement of a pandemic and trying TO OVERTHROW THE FUCKING GOVERNMENT.
.....
These people do not learn, they are not serious and trying to "reach them" is a waste of time.
I know in your liberal heart you want to BELIEVE they have learned now and suddenly won't be massive racists assholes... Don't fall for it again...
Our efforts need to be on reaching people that DO NOT VOTE and have abandoned the system completely, we need to get to them that democracy is an active process and you need to engage to keep it going.
I give ZERO shits and have ZERO compassion left for Trump voters.
If they want back into society they need to actually DO SOMETHING about the mess they have caused, not just whine how now suddenly they are sorry...
Add to that over half a century of "Trickle Down Economics" being promised to trickle down to us ANY DAY NOW. It was a lie then, it's a lie now, and Republicans are it up and everyone else said please no, and here we are still suffering under the impacts of those awful decisions. Hell, MOST of the inflation and low pay and wealth inequality and loss of retirement pensions and loss of nearly everything good we had is due to fucking Reagan and all the Republicans that voted for this.
Also an entire history of disgusting racism and abuse of power.
We would probably be in some amazing utopia right now we're it not for Republicans.
So much of the Bush Era Republican Party is just infested into the Democrats now.
This is why the last time I ever spoke to my mother was the day before his inauguration. At this point, it's her fault that he causes harm.
