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!

MODERATORS
Did they even ask for anything? Not that they would have gotten it, I just bet they didn't even ask for anything
They weren’t even invited to any meeting to ask for anything.
No, they didn’t.
“Who else are you gonna vote for” - ten democrats, probably
Some of them are not up for reelection for many years. They might be banking on most people forgetting about this, and they may be right.
They are right. Americans are idiots and we deserve every bit of suffering we’ll get.
Fuck this country.
Let’s not get discouraged and push for the Democratic senators to elect a new leader.
Push them where? Off a cliff? I’m down for that.
My senator doesn’t give a fuck what I think. Elect a new leader? Why? So they can roll over, too?
I’m way the fuck past discouraged. Burn it all.
43 fucking years the Dems have been like this.
Elect a new leader so we get one that will not roll over. When you say burn it all, you do not encompass the damage it will do for generations to come.
Senate democrats have never in my entire life elected a leader who didn’t fold like a cheap card table. I’ve had decades of disappointment and excuses.
Generational damage is already being done. And is being allowed by Senate Democrats being a bunch of feckless assholes.
Democratic Sens. Richard Durbin (Ill.), Catherine Cortez Masto (Nev.), John Fetterman (D-Pa.), Kirsten Gillibrand (N.Y.), Maggie Hassan (N.H.), Gary Peters (Mich.), Jeanne Shaheen (N.H.) and Brian Schatz (Hawaii) (Nev.) all voted "yes" in addition to Schumer, — as did Maine's Angus King, an Independent who caucuses with Democrats.
Man I’m sure glad I called Fetterman.
That wasn’t a waste of my goddamn time nosirree
Unfortunately the only thing getting through to Fetterman at this point is more brain damage. What a waste of potential.
