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!

Anyone outraged at Biden for this being played for a fool.
Good luck getting any future support if this is how you treat the leaders of the only legitimate party that is allied with you.
"the only legitimate party" my arse. You still act like you are deciding if the youth and progressives have a spot on the floor next to the mighty democratic party table in case you want to throw us some scraps when actually you cant win any election without us, and have no power at all -- at any level of government. You now also have a terrible reputation for being genociders, corrupt, our of touch with the working class, and lacking any sense of strategy. And lacking any dignity either. Even when trump drums up his own resistence against him (because god knows you're not up to that task) you still cant win without your left flank. You arent even aware of what your numbers are. Pathetic.
So shut it. You centrists have gotten enough attention and you've done nothing with the opportunities you've been given, besides consistenly blowing it. You wont be in the drivers seat for a long time, and I think the general population is sick of losing because of your incompetence and unprincipled shenanigans.
I am not responsible for political realities. Being upset that I can see things you cannot is not a progressive attitude.
Kids have same silly believes about political greviances as they do towards sex; every generations thinks they invented it.
Which party is that again? Because I can't think of a political party that is working to remove landlords, empower worker's unions, and break up massive corporations.
Those are some random goal posts you're tossing down but they only indicate you aren't an well informed voter.
I'm sure Trump who runs several corporations, is a well known landlord and has well established anti-union views will do some amazing things to all those causes.
I agree that Democrats are slightly less evil. That's a far cry from making them good.
Remember, the system will never give you the tools to destroy it.
Why not veto, especially since he's a lame duck?
That would have lead to a government shutdown since is lame duck he has nothing to negotiate on a compromise.
Many republicans voted against this bill because they prefer waiting for Trump to take office so they can pass something worse. They don't care about a shutdown.
Oh no defending the our rights will be inconvenient. Definitely better to just give in without a fight /s
Shutting down the government is not without its harms.
Sacrificing others for your ideology will lead to less support.
what support lol
Idk. Seems pretty easy to get on TV and say "I'm vetoing cuz this one line is totally bullshit and not related at all to anything. Remove it and I'll approve. The shutdown is your fault not mine"
And then the government shuts down. Trump takes office and immediately signs something worse. Meanwhile government employees go unpaid and the media finds something else to use to rile you up.
Trump's gonna do what he wants. Planning around him is dumb.
Exactly right.
Are we talking about the Republicans or Democrats?
Because both are owned by the rich and fight against actual populism and the socialist policies that the vast majority of Americans support across the political spectrum?
