Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. 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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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!

The predominantly ludicrous lawmaker from Georgia did Biden a solid this weekend, telling Republicans the Democratic president is fiendishly attempting to make people's lives better.

Also you could get student loans discharged in bankruptcy and Iraq was a functional country.

You neoliberals fixed that.

Lmao yeah you're right, something 75% and 90% of Congress voted for, respectively, is the fault of... Neoliberals.

As are hurricanes and earthquakes.

Your policy was passed and you refuse to own it.

It's bizarre you think "fruitless war" is some sort of neoliberal ideal lol

Every NeoLiberal site I have read supported the Iraq War and still considers Tony Blair to be a good guy and Hillary Clinton's decision to vote for it wise.

It is odd how little you know about the label you have adopted.

Tony Blair is definitely a good guy. I still don't support the Iraq war.

It's a big tent.

He is a war criminal who should be executed for his crimes against humanity.

My body count is 0, your Bff has one of 800,000 by some estimates.

I protested that war. What did you do?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

No you didn't lol. You cannot convince me you were even approaching adulthood at the time. You have no concept of America at the time. You just stated the war was unpopular in '03 which no one who was conscious at the time would have claimed.

I literally did protest that war tho. You're a liar, and I'm not. It's that simple.

Also your weird fixation on body count is dumb. People do in fact die in wars.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Boring. The protest against the Iraq war was the single biggest one in US history. Every city had one. I didn't make the big one in Washington DC I made a few smaller ones in my area.

I don't believe you protested it. You were probably rambling stuff about the Dixie Chicks and yellow cake uranium and how waterboarding wasn't torture. Sorry Cheney lied to you.
