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!

500k in assets is not rich. Jesus Christ, stop fucking crying all over this thread.
I've noticed them posting all over every thread recently, yet to see a good take.
I'll bet a case of beer that you never will.
But that's what conservatives do? Whine about everything without any facts.
Careful, your privilege is showing. Most people live paycheck to paycheck, and you're completely out of touch with reality
Tell us, oh financial genius, what is the exact $ number of assets held that constitutes "rich"?
Its not up to me. Its up to what most people would consider rich.
Most people live paycheck to paycheck and many have net worth in negatives.
Still waiting, big guy.
While you're at it, let's see the source for this claim.
Which is what number, exactly? Back your claim up.
Apparent it's any dollar amount over 10 bucks a year and anyone who can invest any amount in a 401k.
Says the guy posting on Lemmy in the middle of the work day.
Oh, I'm rich. I know it. I dont pretend not to be rich.
Careful you're privilege will start showing as you find leisure time through the working day. People might start thinking your some bougie asshole.
Being privliged isnt being evil. Its when you're not aware of your own privileges and it affects your decisions (especially as a law maker) that its an issue
Says the bougie asshole lecturing people about being poor and not understanding how actual people live.
Lol yeah a bougie asshole wearing tattered clothes and dumpster diving food
The bourgeoisie class is a subset of rich people

Yeah, I'm sure you really wearing tattered clothes and dumpster diving there Mr Liar in Chief.
Not going to dox myself, but you can see from my previous comments that, yes, I dont buy new clothes or electronics and I dumpster dive for my food whenever possible
Sure you do buddy, sure you do. I'm sure you the ever so egalitarian, progressive prince turned pauper saving the poor one social media post at a time.
I'm not lecturing people about being poor. I'm calling out the person who is privileged and doesn't recognize their own privilege
Based on what?
