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!

MODERATORS
I emailed mine last week, begging them to hold the line. As usual, spineless fucking cowards.
enough Democrats joined the Republicans to reopen the government with no real concessions.
The list:
- Durbin
- Hassan
- King
- Cortez Masto
- Kaine
- Shaheen
- Rosen
- Fetterman
- Schumer
- Gillibrand
Where are you getting that information & why not cite primary sources? It's on the senate website:
- Cortez Masto
- Durbin
- Fetterman
- Hassan
- Kaine
- Rosen
- Shaheen
Notably, Schumer voted no.
Schumer coordinated the Yes vote among Democrats
You also missed King
It wasn't on the Senate website yet when I posted

Not sure how to feel about this, people were going hungry and planes were being stopped. Yes there is nothing stopping the GOP from doing this again, but it's mostly a charade already - they could have abolished the filibuster and got what they wanted anyways.
The Dems have this attitude that if the people suffer enough they will learn they were wrong for not voting for them, but it feels like ground hog's day with that strategy because misinformed people always learn the wrong lesson. At the end of the day it's more important for our leaders to do good than to prove they were right.
Edit: It seems food stamps were back on, so now I'm just pissed they wasted everyone's time and energy.
The American Voter, voted Republicans back in after starting TWO illegal wars, destroying our public standing and crashing the economy.
People relying on Americans learning anything need their heads examined.
Did you guys really think it would end any other way?
Like a cheap suit. Stay classy.
Saw this coming from a mile away.
Well fuck me, I was 2 miles away and saw this coming
Time to get busy supporting your favorite third party candidate.
Or primary them, steal their D
I don't think Democrat leadership has a dick. Or a vage. They lack hardness, depth, and warmth.
They are the Barbie dolls of the political world, and have become the Turdpublican's playthings.

~~Both VA senators saw the statewide sweep and thought to themselves, ‘nope can’t have that.’ What a rug pull.~~
Edit: I thought the list at the top was definitive, Mark Warner has come out Against the bill, although that’s probably only because they agreed he gets to sit out since he’s up for re-election next year.
Bought off with private deals.
Good! That way in the Midterms Voters can Remember that Democrats ~~SHUTDOWN the Government and Forced us into INTENSE Hardship for LITERALLY no Reason~~ ended the Shutdown!
