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!

Yeah, that's exact what's going to happen...
If you can't see that coming you shouldn't have car keys, let alone a senate leadership position
Still gotta go and make a good faith effort. Otherwise your criticism after the fact isn't going to carry much weight.
Ok Charlie Brown....
I'm sure any day now Lucy will for real hold the football
Just keep giving them the benefit of the doubt that it's a good faith effort, was way better than doing something with a chance of working.
It's almost like you're responding to someone else's comment.
How in the absolute fuck do you not see the connection between:
Charlie Brown getting tricked into trying to kick the football for decades
Neoliberals thinking trump will negotiate in good faith
To you, there's just no fucking connections, to the point where you legitimately thought I replied to the wrong comment?
Where did I say Trump would negotiate in good faith?
Do you have lead poisoning?
The problem isn't the good faith effort. It's that Schumer crumples against their disingenuousness. Basically giving them what they want.
Yes because this is literally the first time that will have been tried. There’s totally not a long and well-documented track record of good faith efforts already that have been ignored, slapped away, mocked, and used for back stabbing.
This time, though, it will totally show them.
You've picked the wrong side. It's either socialist utopia or burn it all down. We can't negotiate continued funding of government services to the poorest Americans with fascists! Instead, we need the situation to get worse until there's rioting and a violent overthrow of the fascist government. Then we will execute the neoliberals and have one-party rule only long enough to make sure the fascists can never return to power (see: the PRC).
The last thing we want to do is help the voters, who strongly preferred that Trump get another chance to MAGA, to see that the Republicans are the problem. We must muddy the waters with "both sides" rhetoric every time terrible Republican policies are brought up.
