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!

The real problem is that America is a late stage capitalist dictatorship collapsing under the weight of its own corruption into a totalitarian fascist dictatorship.
That's why Israel's genocide has been allowed to exist for the last 80 years. That's why the crime against humanity of the US healthcare system is allowed to exist. This psychopathic-mental-illness-as-a-political-ideology and narcissism-as-an-economic-system is why every western "democracy" has been backsliding towards dystopian hellholes for the last 50+ years.
The collapse of America (and the west) will not stop until all Nazi parties and corporate-controlled opposition are removed from power. Though I doubt the Epstein class will accept defeat without going scorched earth and murdering every antifascist who opposes them. That's why they're hellbent on building fully autonomous killbots. Once human labor can be fully replaced I am 100% certain these psychopaths will mass murder several billion of the worlds poorest, and enslave the rest; that's what I would do if I possessed the total lack of empathy they pontificate with pride (other than the entirely performative thoughts and prayers).
I mean, we got halfway there a year ago...
People just want to ignore we saved the DNC, because billionaire owned talking heads on their TVs haven't said it.
Instead they want people to think it's hopeless to try and depress dem primary turnout in a last ditch effort for neoliberals to seize back control.
It's fucking weird to see so many people finally agree with what I've been saying for decades, but concerning so many picked it up so feverently almost the second it stopped being true.
I get what you're trying to say but I think it's totally reasonable for people to expect more proof that this is true than "the new DNC chair has said some nice things", especially considering the fact that Schumer and Jefferies are still out there doing the same old bullshit
I absolutely agree with that statement...
I'm just disappointed so many people are managing to stay ignorant of all the other stuff.
Like, even as much as I get tired of explaining the same thing, you didn't even ask, you just assumed nothing has materialized.
because billionaire owned talking heads on their TVs haven’t said it.
Like bro...
You're literally what I'm complaining about, especially because when given an opportunity to ask, you just go back to that "billionaires ain't told me nothin" well again...
Just why?
Why are people so happy not knowing shit? Seriously, in general why do you care so little to not even ask and just repeated propaganda again? This is bigger than just you, I want to understand why others do what you're doing.
There's still time to help some of you before it's too late for all of us.
lol OK. Share some examples if that's what you want to do. I'm not sure why it's my job to prod you to say what you want to say.
Welp, if you're not gonna tell me the only thing I can learn from you in exchange, kinda doesn't seem worth it
I usually don't downvote people to encourage discussion but this was so thoroughly pointless that you've earned them
