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 US politics and contain quality and original content. Social Media adjacent hosts like Substack are allowed, but ONLY if they tie back to a company/subsidiary. No personal or friend group blogs and no self-promotion. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and re-hosted 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 other users of being bots or paid actors.
- No memes, trolling, misinformation, or low-effort posts/comments (including reposts). If you see posts like this that anger you, do not engage. Report, block, and live a happier life than they do. Any slap-fight is subject to comment removals. Fights full of rule violations will result in temporary bans to cool off.
- No manipulating votes via bots or alt accounts; this will result in permanent bans. 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 an account ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be permanently banned.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules and use critical thinking when reading, posting, and commenting. Users that repeatedly have 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. The reason(s) behind moderator action(s) are publicly available through the Modlog.
That's all the rules!

Thats the dumbest pile of garbage I read all week. The republicans are actively destroying your country, using the military against protestors, ignoring rulings made by judges and much more.
Democrats are not fighting hard enough against it but to claim they are both the same is insanity. Srsly americans really are so stupid, they deserve everything they get.
They may not be the “same”, but the outcome over the arc of several congressional terms and presidential administrations effectively is. No fascist power comes to primacy without a neoliberal faction suppressing policy reforms for the working class and coordinating with fascists to protect corruption.
Like I said they dont do enough. Yet they are the only ones who can do something and everyone who legally could but did not vote for Harris is responsible for this and deserves what is happening
Now, take it with grain of salt but as far as I, as a outsider, see it...
The biggest difference between Democrats and Republicans is the amount of balls. Republicans have the balls, and are willing to smack them to the wall to get what they want.
Democrats instead prefer to taking the easiest possible way out and not do anything. But at the end of the day, both are liking where this circus is going.
Nah. Democrats at least want to keep the status quo, the good ones want to improve things. Libertarians and republicans actively want to worsen stuff. Both want even more power for corperations. Republicans want fascism.
And thanks to democrats voting alongside with confirming a lot of positions and other things republicans wanted, They were able to do that.
So how about you fuck off with this hand wringing bullshit about the poor innocent democrats who are inviting the nazi's to sit at their table, to eat, and be merry?
How about you fuck off with acting like democrats are as evil as republicans? People like you are the reason Trump won. If you have not voted for democrats in the last election you are just as responsible as every Trump voter and deserve what you are getting.
Go lick boots elsewhere, troll.
I AGREE! The Democrats are NOT to blame For HELPING Confirm the People Destroying our Country while doing NOTHING to Slow them Down EXCEPT for Giving them LITERALLY Whatever they Want!
