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!

MODERATORS
The Democrats still make an attempt at governing; passing bills, doing things that are good and preventing things that are bad. They often do it with a slanted view of which socioeconomic bracket these good things and bad things are going to be defined for, but the Republicans aren't even trying to do that anymore. They're just showing up every day and shitting all over the carpet and telling racist jokes. Fight our geopolitical enemies? Fuck that, we like our enemies. Stop the government from shutting down? Fix the economy? Etc etc, and so on.
We have an entire generation of whiners in voting age now, who care about what is happening outside of the borders more than fixing what lies within. It's gonna be an interesting November. Just saying.
Didn't Trump's botched covid response kill like a million Americans within our borders and lead to the biggest economic catastrophe in living memory? Seems like not doing that again would be a good way to start fixing what's within our borders. The fact that Trump is an epic disaster abroad, in no way means he's not an epic disaster domestically.
Trump is an epic disaster. Period. Not sure what you inferred from my post that states otherwise. We have roughly half of the population who steadfast want trump back, and a growing number of discontents who cant see people hard at work trying to fix the problems because Biden can't wave a wand and fix the middle east problem, so will vote against the Dems. Trump is gonna happen if that second bunch of clowns follows through.
Oh, got it. My apologies; I thought you were a Trump supporter saying young Democrats were the whiners. And yes I 100% agree with you about anyone on the left who wants to not support Biden, because he's not golden enough to vote for him to prevent the end of the world.
Uh... People were literally found guilty in the Numenberg trials for less than what Biden does for Israel.
