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!

@[email protected] Thoughts on this piece? It's hard to hear but he's correct on a lot of his points.
Biden admin needs to step it up now and not wait until the convention.
Sure
I have talked enough with enough specifics about my reaction to this, that I don’t feel like I would need to repeat it, and I feel like it’s safe to stop reading at that point
In short: If the overwhelming average is a big pile of shit, and bringing in a new guy was enough to move the average a pretty fuckin significant distance in the direction of “not shit”, then I think throwing away the new guy in order to pursue the course of progress is a bad idea. Especially since the alternative right now is Anthrax and shit. Moving in the direction of replacing all the rest of the shit (including the new guy at any point we can find something better) all sounds like a great idea, of course, which I only spell out because I feel someone may twist this around into me saying we shouldn’t replace the shit which is very far from what I am actually saying.
It goes right back to this speech by Killer Mike, "how long must we wait on progress"...

Which goes back to James Baldwin 'How much time do you want for your progress '
"for your PROgress" 🫡
