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.

Bruce Springsteen most popular song is "born in the U.SA" and talks about how great America is. (For those not understanding this remark, the song is a critique but I stand by what I said. Because so many say America is great and Bruce says. Let me tell you what American really is. I was being sarcastic. i guess it wasn't as obvious as I thought. ).
This new song is heartfelt. And talks about Alex and Renee. The song is called "on the streets of Minneapolis".
If you go to the YouTube video there are a lot of comments that are positive about this. https://youtu.be/GDaPdpwA4Iw
Music and art has always been a way to unite people in trying times.
For you young wipersnappers. Bruce Springsteen is a big name. He's been making music for a very long time.
He's more popular with people age 50 and up. But also very popular with rural people.
Him making this , targets the right people that need to hear it.

Have you listened to the lyrics of "Born in the USA?"
Right that's like saying Bob Dylan - Hurricane is about ocean weather phenomena lol.
Yes. I should have clarified what I meant. The song "this is America " childish Gambino is also about how great America is.
I feel like you're either not explaining your understanding well, or being purposely obtuse with this comment. "This is America" is literally about how shitty America is becoming
Yes. That's how sarcasm works.
You say something like
"Isn't it great how now that trump has arrested all the illegal criminals, the country is so safe for Americans."
But really I'm pointing out how the opposite is true. By saying an intentional obvious lie.
Born in the USA is NOT about how "great", America is.
I would argue it absolutely is.
That's the point.
It's not. Get a new "point".
Do you not understand how sarcasm works ? No ?
I know, you're an idiot.
