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!

Joe doesn't have a big mouth like Trump, but he actually does accomplish things. Trump's jealous because he has no clue about how
Pete Buttigieg was point man and mentioned by both sides. History will tell a story about Pete IMO.
It's still crazy to me that Trump has all three branches and didn't pass a single piece of major legislation.
He passed 1 major piece of legislation.
Absolutely nothing got in the way of his capital gains tax cut.
Lmao that's true. Does that count as major? It PALES in comparison to the Biden Infrastructure bill in terms of scope.
It's the only thing he cared about.
And it pulled the last frail harness off the billionaire class.
That’s because he’s a patsy. The judges he put through have done enough and will do more
Biden didn't have anything to do with this..
You seem to be proving my point, in what way does Biden deserve credit for not squashing the longshoreman's strike like he did the railworkers'?
Getting downvotes because Liberals want to give Biden credit for the union's achievements. XD
Have another! 😉
Is liberal supposed to have a negative connotation?
Read David Graeber: https://theanarchistlibrary.org/library/david-graeber-the-utopia-of-rules
I used to hold the same belief and considered myself a proponent of limited governance. However, the individuals I know that advocated for smaller government did so because they preferred to be governed by the church instead.
I don't believe that labeling others as liberal or conservative helps anything.
Conservatives are also liberal, and I'm not interested in helping any government they're considered a valid part of. In a sane world they'd be trying every living president at The Hague.
To those who don’t know what words mean, yea.
Getting downvotes because you didn't read the article. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
