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!

Make up your mind. If you didn't need us to win the 2020 general election you don't need us in 2024.
Student loan forgiveness was rejected by the supreme court. All the loan forgiveness you're seeing is the result of the PSLF program signed by G.W. Bush in 2007. Are you trying to give Biden credit for something Bush did?
Boomers got what they wanted. Yay.
Sure. This isn't nothing. However you should compare what's in the IRA compared to what was in the BBB. The BBB is what Biden and Bernie worked on together. The BBB did not pass. This was a very disappointing outcome.
Fucking bread crumbs. Biden blocked the rail strike. The rail workers were fighting for 15 sick days. Some have 7. Most have less than that. Some sound byte by an IBEW administrative worker doesn't change that. Our votes are worth more than that.
You don't get to define what is "everything we wanted". Biden does not deserve our votes. Our votes are worth more than what he's done. If you don't like it find someone else to vote for your procorporate trash candidate.
Okay Ivan. You are speaking for yourself and nobody else, unless its Putin. He damn well deserves our votes. But if you hate that he raised taxes on corporations which is what they hate the most, then you aren't one of us.
Removed, civility.
Removed, civility.
Your vote is worth shit because you don't use it.
Then Biden won in 2020 without my help and you can ignore me and anyone who thinks like me. 🤷♂️
Of course that means you'd have to blame somebody else if he loses in 2024. My vote can't simultaneously not matter in 2020 and be 100% responsible for the outcome of 2024. You need to pick a lane.
The rest of us picked Team America. We don't give a shit about what Putin wants to do.
Thanks for that GOP. And you trying to get them in power.
Sorry Ivan. I know how jealous you are that my country is the most successful country in the world.
Ok Ivan. I've never even been to St. Petersburg.
