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!

I wanna see them file for actual impechment and not just call for it.
Like whats the point other than making the orange turd angry
Then what? What is the point of impeachment? It already happened twice, and he's still here.
Seriously? Learn how shit works.
Enlighten me on how that's going to be effective in stopping a president who doesn't give a fuck about the constitution
It doesn't matter what he thinks if he's impeached, convicted, and removed. That's the point.
None of those three things are going to happen while Congress is controlled by Republicans. Attempting to impeach him currently is a performative waste of time.
Yeah, that's a 100% happening. The guy who can just say "due process is not a thing", challenges election results, 3rd term talks etc is definitely going to get convicted, say "sorry guys my bad" and leave peacefully
... so better to give up? What's your solution
Don't try to play within a system that's broken?
Great, what's your solution?
I worry enough about other things to think about how to "fix" other nation's governments, unlike Americans.
The only viable one will get you banned for 'inciting violence'.
Yes the state is truly a failure literally created by enslavers. No surprise it's full o' fash.
It'll take another decade for some of you to realize Bernie and AOC are just as ineffective and just as much part of the neo-lib machine that keeps us going further right.
AOC isn't saving us, she just gives you the illusion someone is fighting for you. She's allowed to vent on your behalf.
Imagine having a literal Hitler running the show and STILL not understand the lesser of 2 evils meaning.
The "lesser evil" is actively participating in the same show that literal hitler is running.
Oh shit. You mean both parties are equally bad in all respects? Neither has even a slight lead in not being awful? Grow the fuck up. If you can't tell which is worse, I'm fucking sorry you're a lost cause. Goddamn...
It's puritanism, plain and simple. If you can't make things perfect, you're not allowed to make them better, either. It's just one of the many attitudes that all but guarantees we're going to keep slip-and-sliding to the right.
