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'm not sure why you'd want to advocate for Republicans fucking the economy and stock market simultaneously
You think that’s the chart for S&P, Dow, and Nasdaq?
To be sure - the stock market is not a good measure of economic health. Nor do I disagree that what you and the people you know are experiencing as your lived experience. But whatever that is, it’s some historical cherry picked chart that is not YTD performance of the major indexes.
That's exactly what it is. Nowhere did I say it was current. Perhaps this will refresh your memory:
It has bright colors, maybe what's left of your brain can figure it out
I can see where this is going. I don’t disagree that just about everything is in worse shape than I’ve ever seen it, but don’t look at the stock market to help substantiate your claim. People with the excess cash to invest are doing just fine. Good luck out there ✌️🕊️
You didn't address a single fucking thing because you have next to no understanding of the economy or stocks in general. If you did you would know exactly what that graph was by the date. The indexes hit their lowest low since 2020 due to the presidents continuous pump schemes. Stocks may look okay currently but its completely artificial, you'll figure that out when it goes tits up again. Hopefully you go completely broke. I straight up wish the worst for your future. Good luck you troglodytic fuck ✌️🖕
