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!

Recent actions taken by mainstream Dems:
Among the thirty fundraising texts a week I get, I got a text with the wrong name telling me that Medicaid was fried because we "begged democrats to save it" but just didn't donate enough money :( I can just imagine Pelosi turning to face the other democrats, their faces turned up to her like a bunch of whipped orphans, and sadly telling them that Christmas is cancelled because the donors simply didn't put enough quarters in her back.
Chuck Schumer had a perfect opportunity to take a stand and decided that being difficult with the fucking Nazis was just one line we can't afford to cross just now. I guess Saturn's in Pisces ATM, and, wouldn't you know, the perfect conditions for taking a meaningful stand against the republicans have somehow failed to manifest for twenty years and counting. But don't worry, we might have pushed the quit button for ourselves AGAIN, but if you donate a little bit more money, we'll definitely get them next time.
At Trump's shitty speech, they all sat and waved their stupid signs while the only one of them with a fucking spine got walked out by security. Later, Democrats wearing #RESIST shirts politely walked themselves out of the building during the speech. Then they censured the guy with the spine.
I expect Nazi bullshit from the fucking Nazis. I expect the democrats to fucking show up and DO SOMETHING GOD DAMNIT.
