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!

I sure hope we have a country after these fucking morons are done with it. Unfortunately, even if Donvict exits the stage and the Democrats get some modicum of power back, we have several problems:
One is that we are still neck deep in the kinds of morons and racists that went for "maga" (sigh: baby word).
The other is that even when Democrats allegedly have a "supermajority", some assholes have to play the role of "independent", meaning vainglorious jerkoffs that want to make themselves the center of attention.
Best concert of my life was seeing the Vainglorious Jerkoffs open for the Butthole Surfers in '94 at the House of Blues in Reno
Yes like the brain damaged guy from PA…
But let’s not forget, the Supreme Court is going to remain stacked for decades.
So they will always have that tool to pull out of their box any time they are unhappy with any little thing.
He's not the only one. At least he has the excuse of brain damage.
We had Lieberman. Manchin. Sinema.
Also, yeah, even if the Democrats were to get all motivated in order to stack the courts and unscrew the ridiculously overly conservative court that is wildly out of step with the American people....you just know some little backstabbing asshole "independent" pretending to be the fucking Tone Police for everyone would step out of line to stop it.
And then act like they are somehow so very principled and a "voice of common sense" or whatever the fuck. Probably even write a book about what a hero they are for being a moderate and go on a book tour.
even if we fixed those problems we're still perpetually sliding further into oligarchy. we have to bring an end to the current top down hierarchical economic system that creates billionaires, and get money out of politics. any achievements short of that is a bandaid that will eventually get peeled off by some rich cunt trying to make a few extra bucks.
...and the rest of the world fucking hates Americans now. You have a lot of apologizing to do once you've cleaned yourselves up.
