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!

Theoretically, possibly, maybe the "Inflation Reduction Act" reduced the rate of inflation. The idea that costs are lower is just blatantly false - I hope I don't have to explain why.
Yes, that's how population growth works.
Those are the top two - this is what they're leading with as their great accomplishments, and I can immediately tell this list sucks total ass and is typical Democratic talking points when they have nothing of any substance to brag about. This is EXACTLY what I'm talking about with this crap.
If you think the human species continuing to have sex and reproduce, thereby creating "the largest working population of all time" is a poltiical achievement of the Biden administration, I dunno what to tell you.
Sure, I want to argue. I also want something that doesn't insult my intelligence being presented as a political achievement. That seems to be a high bar to clear these days.
It's actually really hilarious that this all started with me saying "whatever list you can come up with for all of these 'consequential progressive victories' is going to suck" and your response is to give me a list from the White House where THEIR NUMBER TWO ACCOMPLISHMENT IS THAT PEOPLE ARE STILL FUCKING WITHOUT BIRTH CONTROL.
And now you've completely shut down and started acting like a toddler. You should really just delete this whole chain before more people see how embarrassing you are.
Sure you are, champ.
I hope you don't act this embarrassing whenever you do whatever you think of as "politics" in real life.
Ok, champ.
Whatever you say, sport.
One ☝️ of us, one ☝️ of us. I thought it was just me, but they’re too busy staring at the Biden tree that they can’t see the Neoliberal forest.
So why's the other guy's comments been removed lol? Was he a bot?
The ratchet effect has gone plaid. “Mom can we have that? -(points to Nordic model) “No, we have Biden at home!”
