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!

Listen man, I'm all for news about candidates backing things but can we please start putting in * comments indicating whether or not they actually followed through with any actual progress or at least describing the situation at hand.
We just went through a years worth of Biden pretending to care about Gaza, and 2 months of Harris also pretending to care about Gaza. And there are still people on here that are convinced the uncommitted movement is going to vote for her, or that she is actually going to change her policy, which is dangerous because its exactly the same situation that caused Hillary to lose in 2016.
People are out here mast posting about Harris backing decriminalization of weed, yet everyone older than 30 pointed out that democrats have been promising to properly achieve that for 2 decades now, and that Harris refuses to mention her antics as state prosecutor.
I don't want to discount the positive here, especially because Trump would probably make a union assassination board lol, but we need to remember what actually transpires vs what a candidate claims.
spoiler
It only took 5 seconds for people to mention how Biden struck down the railroad union and their strike, and he stated that he doesn't want to negotiate with collective bargaining. Harris is his VP, and therefore she extends his policy. This could easily backfire, and we could just have a repeat situation where nothing happens for several weeks, and then all of a sudden a random backroom deal materializes out of nowhere, and nothing actually gets accomplished aside from PR.
