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!

Because if Dems can legitimately clear the very low bar of "no one here was in the Epstein list" we're likely to get enough seats that it literally doesn't matter what Republicans claim.
1/3 of the country doesn't vote, this would get a significant amount more to vote.
Couple that with the DNC changes, primarily reinvesting in state parties...
And this is the most optimistic I've ever been about America long term.
But the next 1-3 years are going to be pretty close to the worst.
Gotta find the silver linings.
Idk man, dollars to donuts Clinton is on it. You say it’s a low bar, but idk how much faith I’d put in our rich
If be shocked if he wasn't...
That's my point, the people legitimately on it that are prosecuted because trump doesn't like them, are still being prosecuted and removed not just from the party but the all of society if they're jailed.
You're looking it as the politicians are the party. I'm talking about it like the voters are the party. And we're better off without the child rapists hanging around us making ng us look bad.
Politicians aren’t the party, but that will be the justification for the Republicans
how soon we forget Slick Willie was getting BJs in the oval office and he was BFF with Donald while snorkeling at Epstein island.
