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!

What if I told you that people who vote for Trump aren't doing so for his fiscal policy? 🤔
I've watched interviews of MAGAts being asked what specific Trump policy made their lives better and their answers are always "the economy".
They know that the real reason isn't popular so they won't say it most of the time.
"He's hurting the wrong people!"
That's all one needs to know, to determine that they are only about needless suffering, for needless suffering's sake. They are not interested in helping anyone. They want to ensure that you have to suffer at least as much, and preferably more than they did.
This particular ideology is literally counter to every previous ideology. They finally managed to create more than enough for everyone, and for the first time in human history a generation decided to be so greedy that their descendants are less well off than their parents.
Welcome to late stage capitalism.
You shouldn't believe them.
Or any policy
I just saw a headline that most Republicans think he should be the candidate regardless of if he gets convicted of his various crimes.
I didn't actually read it so take it with a grain of salt lol.
For real, he's the icon of deregulation, I get the feeling they would be happier to vote for him if he was actually in prison.
He'd just be the pariah they so desperately desire. "See?! He was locked up for being too cool!"
... But they sure are quick to attack Biden on that front. Facts be damned
They don't care about facts. Their feelings are what makes their policy. That is specifically why they touted the "facts not feelings" meme. They don't have to abide by it, and it restrics everyone else. They have no shame, they have no sense of hypocrisy. Every single accusation is nothing more than a confession, and we should start ignoring their bullshit red herrings.
