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!

why did all the states decide to suck harder once biden got in?
his conservative catholic ass got in and the US seems more republican and Christian than ever
maybe this "two" party system actually does not work and we might need to start thinking about the possibility that other parties exist besides these two corporate ones
we need more than the steps from a walking dead baby
those first steps happened a long time ago and now is the time to move forward and stop this but we did baby steps bullshit
Because Republicans have no other course of action other than to become more authoritarian and anit democracy as time goes on. It's mathematically impossible for them to ever win the popular vote and the electoral college is slipping as a possibility as well. So that only leaves political violence and actual violence as an option. It's not Biden's fault outside of not being left leaning enough. Conservatism is a death cult, meeting them half way in anything is a fools errand.
Because Mitch McConnell packed the supreme court with appointees by blocking a vote at the end of Obama's term, and hand picked three justices for Trump to sign off on. Not to mention the extremely high number of other federal appointments that the Senate refused to vote on until they had a pawn in the white house.
Then the Supreme Court overturned decades of protections for the American people, especially when it comes to women, and GSMs.
Then the states were free to discriminate against their population.
It's fallout from the effects of Republican court packing nearly a decade ago, it just took time to take effect.
