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 posted this comment just yesterday and it fits perfectly here, so I'm copy pasting it.
How is that an insult? In fact the only thing I would say is incorrect is the word 'failures', since I think they (the liberals, be it the Democrats or the equivalent in other countries) haven't failed at all, quite the opposite, they've played their part masterfully to bring us here. And before the liberals around feel attacked, this is not a 'both sides are the same' comment. That's not how controlled opposition works. It's more 'both sides work together, even when they do very different things, to achieve the same goals'. Just an example. While Trump's DoJ is prosecuting people only because they are political opponents, Biden's didn't prosecute actual criminals (specially an orange one) because 'they were political opponents, and it's a bad look'. They disguise their inaction as civility, when it's clear as water they're doing it to further the plans of the people paying them, which is the same privileged class that's paying the other side. Even this side of the pond, without a 'first pass the post' system, with lots of parties, coalitions, and what not, it's still exactly the same play.
