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!

Yeah, but it seems pretty disingenuous to complain that Biden is simultaneously making empty promises but not actually doing anything while also wasting taxpayer money fixing a bridge.
Yeah, the government never wastes money to accomplish nothing...
It's not like trump shut down the government a couple years ago to secure funding for a non existent border wall...
Side note:
Have you ever wondered about a Memento reboot where only one person in the world retained their long term memories?
Every one else just forgets everything after like 20 seconds and gets taken advantage of by a small group of psychopaths?
So now you are certain the bridge will be rebuilt?
So, just to recap.
First, you complained that Biden is nothing but empty promises.
Then you complained that taxpayers have to pay for the bridge (if it was an empty promise nobody is paying for it)
Now you're complaining that it's all a waste of money and nothing will be accomplished anyway (do you think we, as a society, are incapable of building a bridge?)
It kind of sounds like you're just going to bitch and moan no matter what.
I remember Trump shutting down the government. Do you think this situation is remotely similar? Does half the population not want this bridge in place?
If that remake does happen, you're not the one that's going to be keeping your memory. You can't even seem to remember what point you were trying to argue when you can just scroll up and read it again.
Just recap:
12 hours ago you randomly insulted me, deleted the comment, and now 12 hours later youre trying to start an argument again in the same thread and close it out with more insults?
Why would you think I wouldn't just block you?
The state of /politics.
Lemmy is a great place...
Until you mention Biden isn't perfect.
Start talking about his flaws and lots of accounts start sounding like trumpers.
It's incredibly depressing to see this is what the "good" party has come to
I dunno what kinda stuff you're into but check out Second Thought on YouTube.
Also Bernie has a podcast now?
There are like minded people out there.
