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!

Goddamn you fucking idiots will never rest until Democrats never win again.
Why they would they prosecute themselves and WHAT FOR?
They're not "complicit", you stupid fucks didn't vote for them and now they don't have power. That's how that works.
I voted for them. Many Leftists voted for them because we were doing harm reduction.
But there are no elections happening now, so why the fuck would we do harm reduction? Primaries don't happen for a couple more weeks! General elections don't happen for months or even years!
The Democratic party, whether they realize it or not, are supposed to act as the opposition party to the fascists. The fact that they are CONTROLLED opposition doesn't change their primary function from the perspective of the voters. To the rich and wealthy, of course Democrats are the controlled opposition, and for good reason to the rich and wealthy.
NOW is the time to pressure Democrats to do what we want, and scold them for ignoring to. NOW is the time to fund and volunteer for progressive candidates across the country who are participating in this year's primaries. NOW is the time to organize with political organizations and mutual aide groups.
Democrats should be prosecuted because they've enabled this administration when they've had plenty of opportunities to ACT in the past to prevent this present time from occuring. I'm mostly referring to the triple crown of Blue Executive, House, and Senate twice since Obama's first term.
May I remind Marxist-Leninists who give a fuck about the US that revolution cannot be forced on a people. Revolutionaries must work within the systems of the masses - indeed voting and paying lip service to their petty "democracy" - until the time is right.
