Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. 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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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!

Again, what was the thanks that Obama got for the ACA? He lost for the next 6 years. Fucking thanks huh.

What was Biden's thanks for all his work? Lost the house. Fucking thanks huh.

That's why they need consistent victories. Not 2 years every 16 fucking years.

Frankly, they do left things in spite of the left never showing up. And they pay for it every time.

Why are you utilizing collective guilt in your argument?

[–] [email protected] -1 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (4 children)

If that's what you want to call what happened, that's you. This is what happened.

You're blaming an individual for the actions of a group that they are not a part of and did not participate in. That's collective guilt

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

No I'm not blaming the individual, I'm saying the group. The group that doesn't show up. Like where in that message did I specifically say him the specific individual user. And I'm saying what literally happened, you're trying to change this to guilt of some kind or other.

I seem to have a lot of messages from you that focus on frankly weird and/or incorrect pedantry. I'm out.

and/or

"And/or" is grammatically incorrect. It should be "or" because "or" does not preclude the possibility of both being present

Like way to show you're being weirdly pedantic. [Slow clap.]
