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!

It's much more than just a feeling.
The article is big on feelings , but no action or direction, just like the federal Democratic Party.
It’s really amazing how similar the two are
Drew Magary is normally a sportswriter. People can have multiple competencies and he dabbles in politics but if sportswriters are mad and don’t know what to do, it’s not necessarily their role to come up with solutions. He knows more about the roster of the Minnesota Vikings than policy. Just that he’s frustrated is significant.
Fair point
Proportional Representation or bust!
or bust!
Oh wow, thank god, I was getting worried our congresspersons were gonna get too tired from doing nothing at all.
Again. They did and then they consulted with the consultants that lost them the election to Trump twice now and they've decided moving and aligning with Republicans is the winning strategy.
Step one of that awakened plan is to vote for the Republicans budget because it aligned with Democratic values.
They're fully awake and working peacefully with their fellow right-wingers as usual.
I remember when you used to exclusively post against Biden and when called out on that you said you were against the current government...
I guess that was a lie.
Shush child. You are reason we got Trump. And maybe if the volume to get Biden to step down had been louder, earlier, we could have removed him in enough time to have a real primary and get a decent candidate. Instead, those voices were silenced, until it was so fucking obvious that even the most vapid among us, yourself included, could see the writing on the walls.
The silencing of the criticism of Biden led directly to Trump winning. You were in some small way responsible for that. You should develop a permanent sense of shame for that.
