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!

How could you forget something that has been happening continuously our whole lives
Oh goodness!! For how long will he be in Hospital?
We have Trump and now this fricking idiot failure clogging the news feeds. This is the Worst possible reality to live in.
Hey, Harris: you are part of the problem. You are the controlled opposition. You lost the race. The DNC and Biden sure as fuck helped you lose, but at the end of the day, you lost. You sold us down the river and paved the way for the fascists to take over. How about sit down and shut the fuck up.
Do you really think this party simply "shutting up" will help??
Yes. All they do is pacify the public by providing an illusion of fighting back. If they "simply" shut up, people might notice they actually did nothing more than talk.
They don't even throw little bones here and there while making bigger concessions anymore. Bernie Sanders will spend 17 minutes describing the genocide in Gaza in grotesque detail and refuse to use that word, because there's a line that must not be crossed when playing the part of fighting with the people, and you'll get praised and declared the savior of the country.
They do nothing but say just enough to pacify you, to make you think someone is fighting on your behalf.
Sure, there are major problems with the Democratic Party, and their loyalty to the same special interests as the Republicans, but they will never win until the Party as a whole acknowledges that the BIGGEST factor in HitlerPig's election was cheating by Skum, the Russians, and MAGA-led county election boards around the country.
The Dems could properly address EVERY issue they have, and they'd still lose, until they decide to grow some big brass balls and a stainless steel spine and confront the open treason and naked criminality of the MAGA Nazi Party, and the Conservative Propaganda Machine.
I guess my point is that it’s REALLY hard for me to see a difference between the Democratic Party and voting 3p, considering how ineffectual they are when they have power (especially under the circumstances), and how they keep electorally shitting the bed because they’re so fucking beholden to neoliberal corporatist idiocy - which, I must point out, is what makes them lose elections.

Nothing will meaningfully improve until the rich fear for their lives
They fear leftism (even if it is democratic, moderate, they even hate new deal capitalism designed to save them from themselves ffs) more than fascism, that's the issue. Even most dems.

Aah, yes. Remember when Germany failed to adequately deal with a traitor who attempted a coup, who then came back and took power again? Yeah.
We have an actual CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT (14A/Sec 3), that expressly prohibits anyone who participated in an Insurrection from holding elected office. Clearly HitlerPig fits that, but nobody in the Democratically- held Biden administration was bold enough to force compliance. If they had, like MANY Americans were calling for, MAGA would be totally out of power right now.

Well, we did put him in jail, at least.
That is true. The US didn't even bother to go that far.

Elon Musk is a Nazi
And you chose not to do enough when it mattered the most. Remember that.
And she continues to not do anything. I think the lesson here is that she would have made a bad president. Look at AOC, look at Bernie. But the d’s don’t want them (ie: Bernie 2016 and AOC not getting picked for a position that was given to a dude that just died)
