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!

Yes just keep handing our democracy over to the highest bidders and see how this all ends
You make it sound like that's not the express aim of the mainstream republican politicians. This isn't a bug to them, it's a feature.
Seems optimistic to assume most Dems are much better
One of the most successful con-jobs ever was convince people that all Democrats and all Republicans are the same because all it does it create apathy among democratic voters and help Republicans get elected.
Hey, you guys remember that time that Democrat president refused to commit to a peaceful transfer of power, refused to accept that he lost the election and said that Congress shouldn't certify the vote? Then, most of the Democrats in Congress just blindly agreed and said fuck the vote results, let's keep this guy!
Yeah, that was pretty treasonous of those Democrats.
"January 6th was antifa in maga hats" ugh. All we can do is try to vote them out or vote to keep them out.
The FBI, DOJ and CIA are all infiltrated by antifa to the point of them only charging the trump supporters who got caught up in the crowd, swayed by the agent provocateurs into doing things they never would.
That's why the only people charged so far are Trump loyalists even though we all know that BLM and antifa (who were sponsored by Bud Light and Target) actually caused it.
And George Soros
It's Alex Soros now, get with the times.
I guess I'm behind the times morning star baby flies ejaculate flatulence
I cannot fucking stand the fact that EVERYTHING that comes up in politics is always dismissed as "equal." Every fucking time... "Republicans did x,y,z" "yeah? Well Democrats did a,b,c so it's the same thing."
Then as you say the apathy kicks in and it allows you to say "fuck it, I'm still voting for R)Mr.Babykiller because D)Mrs.Babypincher is just as bad plus she's a communist Venezuela socialism or whatever Tucker Carlson said she was."
Just keep fighting the good fight!
Idk man, as a Canadian looking at US politics from outside, it seems kinda naive to presume Dems aren't also incredibly corrupt.
But yes Trump and his goonies are another level
