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!

Dissenters against what?
The dems caved and made all this shutdown for nothing. Who's side should we take? Healthcare premiums are going up into the stratosphere, I am already being told they will go up an additional $1000 a month for me and those I cover. I COUNTED on Dem leadership to hold the line and force Republicans to allow ACA to remain untouched, now dems own the shuttdown and republicans are laughing all the way to the bank as they get to now spend those tax credits on... whatever the FUCK they are doing with all this money they're taking from us.
This isn't about sides anymore, people are going to die. They are throwing people to their death.
edit: I sometimes think there are just bots here who say things to learn how humans reply.
Premiums affected refers to those using the public market state options via Obama care. Aka direct purchase plans, which is 10.2% of Americans w/health insurance.
Yes, that's over 34 million Americans.
Not quite. Only about 307million Americans have health care, so its 10.2% of the 91% who have Healthcare. So 3 mill less than your number.
What is our point here.
Point? I just hanging on jerboa.
Oh that makes it okay then!
