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!

IKR?!
WTF Dems...?
Stop enabling a tyrant. This is gonna bite you in the ass quicker than you thing.
I mean what the fuck are they even doing?
When the Republicans were out in 2020, they pushed back on everything and everyone, fuck the consequences, which there never are any, and let their base know they had their backs regardless, and even if they voted they damn well made it known they did so reluctantly.
Here you've got Democrats who aren't even putting things up for a fight and then they have members going on air touring how great these guys are, fucking Fetterman.
There's no spine in any of these Democrat assholes so why the hell would I vote for any of them at this point if your going to make it easy for fascists? There is no lesser of two evils now, just sickening enablers.
They're doing what they always did: uphold the status quo.
The veil is pulled back, neither party (save for a few progressive senators) actually gave a shit about anyone but themselves. The DNC was just better at pretending, using rainbow capitalism to hide it.
@inclementimmigrant
They still govern by 'gentleman rules' but the GOP and Trump aint fucking gentlemen. They're fucking Nazis using the system against them...
Perhaps the Dems realize there won't be another vote, and they're better off kissing ass now if hey want their jobs.
If they realized anything, they would have realized that if they keep enabling this shit, their jobs are absolutely gone and likely their lives.
Then they'd piss off their own donors too...
You know when the last big cut to the federal workforce was?
The 90s when Clinton was in office.
You know what trump was doing in the 90s? Donating so much to the DNC that the Clinton's came to one of his sham weddings.
If you want to know why neoliberals aren't opposing Donald Trump, it's because they've literally been working together to destroy the federal government and replace it with oligarchs for the last 30 years.
So stop acting surprised already, and start opposing them.
Say it with me:
👏 Democrats👏 are👏 not👏 coming👏 to👏 save👏 us👏
Our only chance are the leftists that are too busy arguing semantics and refuse to work together! Aw shit.
Ah but bipartisanship. Mr. Hitler will surely see sense any day now, if we're polite and reasonable and try not to anger him.
