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

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!

Anyway wokecrats work for the same owners LMAO
If there's any hope for a real labor movement in this country, Americans are going to have to stop hating one another in order to rally against their corrupt, incompetent bosses in a united front.
But I can guarantee the folks posting "WOKECRATS! ROFLMAOLZ!" aren't going to be shoulder to shoulder with any of their working class brethren on that picket line.
There is no labor movement in America, because America it's the home of the real owners of the world, America it's the first nation following the agenda and the agenda it's making the living of the 99% a competition for social status so making everyone hate each other, divide and conquer. American politics it's just a big staged mimic, at the end of the day both parties work for the same owners so they all will follow the orders it doesn't matter if they are democrats or republicans, money is money.
Yes, yes. "Read Settlers".
But the empire is coming home, and the American consumer is being retrofitted into the new subject of proletarianization. Meanwhile, American plutoarchs are looking for a new capital - New Zealand, Singapore, perhaps Dubai - and pulling out of their old North American enclaves. The renewed demand for US industrial labor is creating pressure for a new American labor movement.
