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!

We?
Only one side does this and literally covers everything they own with Trumps crap.
Have you seen the „both sides bad” posts lately?
Your election season starts more than a fucking year before the election. Americans are fucked up with their red/blue shit.
My dude, their election season never fucking ends.
They make their political shirts, hats and flags part of their fucking wardrobe.
Dems have been starting to do the same :(
No. They haven't.
bOtH SiDeS!
Yeah. Just look at Bob Menendez. All the leftwing media is repeating his talking points, refusing to show/validate statements from the prosecutors, and outright calling the investigation a Republican witch hunt. Meanwhile, Democratic politicians are throwing themselves at his feet, talking about how far America has fallen, that a congressman can no longer line his jacket with money and hide gold bars in his house. I'm sure Biden is going to pardon the guy.
Prove it.
I'm reasonably certain that comment was dripping with sarcasm
Prove it.

The referees are on Trump's side.
Trump hired a bunch of them. Sports is (barely) more fair.
Alito had an upside-down American flag (Stop the Steal) Jan 17, 2021 on display at his house.
Nah, we treat it like sports teams, that goes for pretty much everyone. Maybe one side more than the other, but make no mistake, both parties treat it like sports teams.
I guess its a team sport like if you consider a zombie apolocypse as team survivor vs team undead.
You have the rabid fascists trying to take this country through any means and actively strip away our rights. Then you have the people resisting them.
Then we have people like you watching from the sidelines saying both sides are dumb, but will be eaten along with rest if the survivors fail.
I never said which way I would vote. I completely agree that one side has gone full fascist. That doesn't mean we don't treat it like sports. It just so happens right now we have a state of politics in the U.S. right now where if you vote third party you're basically throwing away your vote making it more likely the Republicans win the elections.
That doesn't detract from my point, or make it invalid. We really need ranked choice voting, and then maybe we could stop treating it like sports teams.
Youre getting downvoted but if people would take time to consider what you are saying you are just flat wrong so ima go ahead and downvote. Thank you for your service.
I mean I'm not wrong. I don't care about downvotes at all. Thanks for commenting and wasting your time letting me know though.
But you are wrong. There are plenty of people that don’t treat it like sport. Maybe you don’t associate with any.
