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!

Trump is the best thing to ever happen for the mainstream media. They don't have to report on much else but his shenanigans.
Less news stories about building housing
Less news stories about the abysmal Healthcare scamcare system.
Less news stories about a digital bill of rights
Less news stories about empowering worker co-ops and other labor movements.
Trump spam all day.
To be fair, the things that have happened around him are completely unprecedented for a president.
Imagine trying to explain to Benjamin Franklin that yellow journalist super star will get elected and then sell classified documents to our biggest enemies for only his gain.
"Bro... You're not gonna believe this but... An orange man will become president and act like a clown."
But the underlying problem is, you could literally elect a can of beans into the oval office, and it would do a better job than donald "dictator on day one only" trump. So there is no pressure on biden to even move... The lines are drawn between a fascist and a corporate shill. Choose your poison, Americans
The difference though is the most important. We can change our minds and vote someone else in after Biden. If we elect Trump he will do his best to completely dismantle our democracy, something he almost accomplished the first time.
This is a key point that should be pointed out more often.
For a corporate shill he is really helping out the union movement. I would say that here's more for workers rights then Obama is. And with less of the drone strikes. I think he could do more sure, but I don't see this guy going full corporate stooge and I feel like it's a knee-jerk reaction to claim he is.
Now if only he could stop bending over for Israel
You could at least eat the can of beans without getting an STD
