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!

My billionaires are stronger than your billionaires. Doesn't matter, we have ja rule

that's not good news for her. Even in best case scenario when they do not want anything in return - optics will be that she's about billionaires and not commonfolk. Whereas POTUS45 supported by Koch brothers and such on a Qpaints him as folk hero... bad news to start, now we mix in the part where they want something in return... it gets worse yet.

We saw how being indebted to the donor class paid out with Obama.

Another admission that this is actually a plutocracy

~~Pluto is not even a planet, what are you taking about??~~

~~Oh, you mean ruled by that cartoon dog that fucks?~~

Yeah, always has been.
And it's spreading to their colonies.

Yeah, despite what she might think, this admission doesn’t make her look good. Billionaires don’t give away their money for free, they always expect something in return.

Better place for their family to live? Equal rights? Less fascism? I'm not a fan of billionaires, but they aren't extracting wealth all the time.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 days ago

I mean, Trump's plans will probably wreck the economy, so billionaires have a vested interest in making that happen.

Does she have more dictators backing her?

[–] [email protected] -3 points 6 days ago

I mean she has more war criminals backing her..

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 days ago (1 children)

That AIPAC money she's taken comes with strings attached. And shes backed by the largest dictator of all, the dictatorship of capital
