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!

Spineless twats. Primary them all

Not even American but just seeing this Fetterman guy's name fills me with rage. This right here is a prime example of the worst kind of politician. Absolute fucking lying snake that suckered everyone in with falsities and by pretending to be something he's not. This is a guy who is just begging to be fucking dragged out into the streets and pulled apart by angry rioters.

It’s time for general strikes and riots honestly. The rich and their minions have no fear and they need a fuck load of it.

If Schumer was interned in Auchwitz he'd offer to tune up the ovens so people would burn faster and suffer less.

If you aide fascists, you are a fascist, and should be treated the same.

"There is no off-ramp," for a government shutdown, Schumer told the Times. "The off-ramp is in the hands of Donald Trump and Elon Musk and DOGE. We could be in a shutdown for six months or nine months."

That's exactly how they get you to vote for these shitty bills every time. Fucking fear over what will happen if you don't cave. Nothing gets better if you give in to bullies every time.

You can’t threaten someone with a government shutdown if they are already trying to defund the government.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 hours ago

If they were trying to do that literally, they wouldn't have even made this bill.

They need to be primaried out.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 12 hours ago

Every single one of them.

Remember this list in two years!

Good! If Democrats DONT piss off their Voters then HOW will they Court the Republicans who will NEVER vote for them?

[–] [email protected] -1 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

Moderates and republicans often vote dem especially in the case of Trump.

It’s the leftists that sabotage their own elections, screeching “genocide Joe” until Trump gets elected. That’s who Dems should stop courting.

Source? I feel like this is true but would love to point to a source when I share this with my circle.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 13 hours ago

Fetterman has been increasingly right-wing since his stroke, I fully expect him to switch parties.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 13 hours ago

Wow. More than I expected.

Ffs. If there is a toilet, we aren’t the lid. We are going right to the sewer.
