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!

Yep. They're (intentionally) mistaking celebrating our small victory for a conclusion of hostilities. We know it's not over and it's not gonna BE over until the people are once more in control of their own government.
Which is why I think they’ll give us Schumer (again, its that defined 7 on a pair of 6 sided dice).
I encourage you and anyone else working class to read up on revolutions. The fellow who did the series Andor has. Tony Gillroy. Match it with historians. People who run governments do study it. They vent the people. Sometimes talking sideways is enough. Sometimes you have to throw a bone to release some of the pressure built up behind the hunger. Good odds Schumer will be the bone.
The difference is we do have a few more players. Not just Sanders and AOC. Even so, odds there are not in our favor.
I think after venting us they’re going to point to 2025 and use that fear come 2028 vs doing things to improve our lives.
One small example. Remember, NIOSH was gutted. These are our filters for all of construction and trades and all of healthcare, including prehospital, including firemen.
Every person in those professions is in danger because their safety gear regulators have been gutted. Even some random school teacher who likes to woodwork. Filters against that fine dust inhalation? Well. Maybe they’ll be ok? Whose to say? Lead remediation on your old house? Asbestos? Maybe. Sure. They surely wouldn’t roll back quality just because it’s not being regulated. Would they? /s
Bits like that crap deal could all be packed into a bill. A big beautiful bill, one that should already be written and ready to go. But is it?
They’ll vent us, they’ll have to. Just enough to prevent rioting. And then I think they’ll try to ease back into the usual. Just don’t be fooled by the venting. See it for what it is.
