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!

And to think, harris was content with dick cheney.

Sometimes it's hard to know if you're doing the right thing. But if Trump praises you for it, you can be assured it's not.

I couldn't say if this guy is going to have a sixth term after this, but he'd be wise to start looking at retirement options. I didn't think New York will forget this come 2028.

The same New York that has New York City that voted that conservative cop that takes international bribe, Eric Adams into office?

I was thinking I need a tampermonkey script to permanently rename him something along the lines of Chucklefuck Clownshoeman.

Still workshoping the name.

I think now is as good a time as any to remember that despite Chuck's poor decisions, this is a republican bill written by the GOP and passed with every Republican in tow and a very small number of DNC (if it can even pass with Chuck's blessings at all).

This problem exists because of the Republicans. Screw Chuck, for sure, but Fuck those Republican traitors.

I have a different view. he had two bad choices available and he chose the worse one.

he and the establishment Dems (hehem, Biden) as well as turncoats like Lieberman/Sinema/Machin/Fetterman who were inexplicably allowed to caucus with the party) are precisely why we're here today watching the rise of fascism and oligarchy. from failing to seat a supreme court justice under Obama, sabotaging Bernie (twice), fielding awful presidential candidate after candidate, allowing the military to expand endlessly, not codifying Roe (and doing nothing in response to it's overturning), to censoring Al Motherfucking Green...

the entire "opposition party" looks weak and disorganized and incapable of fighting every time a crisis arises. the party needs more progressive leadership and they need to realize that sometimes it's appropriate to break a few rules and take risks on big power plays. and forward popular plans that will actually energize the base.

these 'play it safe' supposedly harm reducing tactics are why we're here today. they had 8 years since 2016 to come up with ways to combat trumpism and the best they could do, after flopping on the election and then peacefully handing over power to a sociopath and a nazi billionaire - was... write an op ed in the New York Times.

I'm done with this group of shit heads. there are better senators who should be in charge. we need people getting mad and breaking shit, not another patronizing speech about having patience until the next midterm.

Patience for midterms? God no, we need to be supporting the DNC starting yesterday. There is no waiting for Midterms, we need to be contacting representatives, holding up signs, attending rallies, deep canvasing today.

we need to be supporting the DNC starting yesterday.

"We don't need to defund the cops! No! Fund them!" -Said by Biden right before Uvalde.

Same fucking vibe as what you just posted. Gross.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 6 hours ago

You've got 2 options. The choice is very very very clear if you actually care about any of the policies you claim to.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 8 hours ago

Republican in tow and a very small number of DNC

Always just enough.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

The question is, why is one of those Republicans the Democratic leader in the Senate?
