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!

The gop has no plan or intent to govern. At all. How can you run a government if your entire platform is that all government is bad?
That's part of it. At least that is what the elitists that hold all the cards (fiscally) want, but there is a huge streak of racism and qtarded nonsense driving a lot of the base.
I wish that were it, but I think it's pretty clear that they want to be way more theocratic and totalitarian than that.
Yeah, votes to deny health procedures and ban books, aren’t very small government of them.
Republicans: "Government doesn't work. Elect us and we'll prove it."
Remember when Donald Trump appointed the guy who said he wanted to abolish the Department of Energy to be the head of the Department of Energy? Good times.
When asked to name the departments he wanted to shut down, he listed them off but couldn't even remember the name of the DOE that he later got put in charge of.
Haha yeah. That certainly was a highlight of 2016. Even better was that one of the three was the department of education...
Their plan is to destroy the United States of America as safely as they can.
They’ve confined themselves, and far too many of their voters, that they’re saving it. Especially by forcing women to live like it’s the 1700s and let the billionaires be kings.
Despotically.
They're like Ron Swanson, but without the charm, rugged intelligence, and moral compass.
