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!

Democrats when they win an election: Wahhhh we dont have a congressional majority :c
Republicans when they win an election: FUCK LEGAL PRECEDENT I AM MORE POWERFUL THEN THE COURTS AND GOD, I WILL MURDER ANYONE WHO GETS IN MY WAY
Equivalent, right?
So fucking equivalent.
Destroying is always easier than building.
Oh, they are building something
Democrats when elected: okay but we only had all three branches of government for two years and Joe Lieberman was kinda mean :(
"Why do you dislike us? Our last major victory was a watered down bill by conservative think tanks 15 years ago! We can do more! ...We just never wanna."
May I steal this for the body of an image to post on !leftymemes@lemmy.dbzer0.com?
Absolutely, also pls tag me :3
Yeah, where the fuck is this “rules don’t apply” when it’s legal weed or college debt?
We don't have empathetic leftist polititians who are also willing to "go low".
At
Oh absolutely, if the conservatives want to play dirty I say we play just as dirty. Hell lets go lower, we the workers should do absolutely everything in our power to destroy tyranny.
DEATH TO THE TYRANTS
Ok buddy. Bet those tyrants are just gutted that you say this.
Are you saying you don't like being a democracy with laws?
We haven’t been a democracy with laws since Bush stole the 2000 election and lied to the world to murder a million Iraqis.
... because they didn't.
... because they HAD the majority. And they stacked the Judicial.
How is this hard to understand?
...and when they do, it becomes because they don't have a large enough majority. If they had a filibuster -peoof majority, it would be because they don't have a veto-proof majority even if they also held the executive.
To put it another way, Biden had the power to fully legalize marijuana at any time because drug scheduled can be changed by process from either the legislative or executive branches. Instead he had it rescheduled. Because Dems only operate in half measures federally, because they are controlled opposition.
He didn't even do that. He asked the DEA to do it, but they never moved the needle on it. It's still as illegal as it was in 2020, federally speaking.
You're right, it's currently still hung up in procedure. Even then, he could have ordered his DEA to deschedule it, and instead had them do what they've done. He also waited long enough that when it happens, Trump will get the credit despite having had nothing to do with the process.
Except no, he didn't.
They distinctly did under Obama and in the first two years of Biden. They just complained and fucked up
The parlimanatarian said we can't do it, too bad :c
Okay so the Democrats are just shit at winning elections, got it.
