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!

For the most part, the left would absolutely have someone executed for treason. The left is loyal to ideals, not people. It wouldn't matter if it were Biden or Trump.
The authoririan left, who might have a problem if it were 'their guy' don't have any loyalty to Biden, because he's not a communist or populist leader.
This right here. If you tell someone on the left that there's credible evidence of a politician committing a crime, they say it should be investigated and prosecuted without asking who it is. On the right, the response completely depends on whether it's their team or not.
That's why folks on the right will stand behind Trump when he keeps highly classified documents with markings and refuses to return them, but will chant "Lock her up!" about Hilary using a private email server that had unmarked classified emails, even though she fully complied with the investigation.
Are you talking about the same 'left' that cried inhumane and illegal when Trump enforced title 42, but crickets with Biden's new immigration policy which is stricter than title 42?
Or the same 'left' that supported Henry Cuellar despite knowing he was under federal investigation?
Voters in both sides will check for that R or D beside their name to see if they will support their actions
Have you not seen all the posts here from liberals complaining about Biden's border policies? How about Huffington post, MSNBC and CBS calling for expelling Cuellar? It's far from liberals lining up behind him.
