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!

I know people who make excuses for democrats' resounding successes at working with republicans to block legislation don't like hearing this, but the voters did their fucking part. We gave your garbage quisling party a majority and they did what they always intended to do with it.
By the data presented, "what they always intended to do with it" was to create the single greatest period of economic prosperity in American history.
I don't believe that's their goal anymore. But that's what they did with their majority. I'm not really understanding the point you're trying to make here.
We gave them a majority in 2020. They used it to block the minimum wage increase and most of BBB. I get that you know exactly what I was talking about the entire fucking time and are only pretending that I was talking about pre-clinton democrats, but that's because centrists are dishonest and take credit for the accomplishments of others.
It might have something to do with the fact that you're commenting directly on a hard-numbers report about pre-clinton Democrats.
Way to make unfounded assumptions bud, I wish you could understand how wrong you were because I'd love to see your face about it. If you call me a centrist in person I'll punch you in the mouth.
Complain all you want but do try and have some basis in fact when you do, it helps the argument go better.
