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!

WHICH, my dear potential voters, is why we need to stop fucking arguing with one another and come together, dammit.
It's REALLY easy:
Stop being idiots.
Pressure Biden to use the recent Supreme Court decision to OUR advantage.
Vote Biden into office for another 4-years.
Continue to be fucking geniuses by holding hands and using those 4 years to fix shit.
If those on the Left actually stopped verbally measuring one another's dicks and stood united, they would be a force that the Right could not reckon with. The problem is so many of you keep strutting around, beaks in the air, making damned goose calls while collectively peeing into the wind and complaining that your pants keep getting wet.
Pressure him with what?
Your voice. You can literally call your representatives.
That doesn't appear to apply any meaningful pressure.
You still do it. Its part of the process. The alternative is violence
They're throwing your letters in the trash.
Then at least we have a garbage heap to point to when forcing them to pen the Magna Carta 2
Agreed. We don't have to agree on everything. We could get away with blocking this fascist shit and fixing some underlying problems that are preventing the majority of Americans from what they want--living comfortably (rights, wages, etc.). I know it's not necessarily simple, but it's surmountable.
Biden's cooked, he needs to step down and let Literally Anyone Else take the nomination. Other than that, I agree completely
If by using the scotius decision to our advantage, you really mean that we should become the authoritarian fascists we hope to defeat, then no - that's not what we should do.
Keep turning your nose up just like Democrats have been doing for 40 years.
There is a point we shouldn't cross. This doesn't mean we should never take steps towards it. Controlled. Planned. Done with cause. For a better tomorrow. We are at that cusp.
It's not "turning your nose up" to refuse to support authoritarianism, even if it aligns with your ideals.
