Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. 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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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!

you mean the republicans who want to raise the retirement age, get rid of social security, get rid of overtime pay, abolish child labor laws, and act like it's everyone's responsibility but theirs to keep them in business?

But my corporate overlords arranged for a republican to speak at a company event. Surely if my corporate overlords vote for them, then I should vote for them too.

Didn't you know that voting is like clothing.

Vote for the socioeconomic position you want not the socioeconomic position you have!

Any day now and I'll be a billionaire!

They want more labor, sounds pretty pro labor, right? /s

Every time I hear "we created so many jobs" by any politician. We don't need more jobs, we need more money for less work.

Trump created tons of new jobs, by making sure you have to work three of them to not afford rent.

Glad to hear he stayed away from Fox News.

I love that quality articles like these appear in places like TeenVogue. Young people need to see the shit that republicans are known for so they are less likely to believe their lies.

Looks like a blind banana slug is riding the elephant (maybe even controlling it)
