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!

True, but none of that matters for 2028
It all matters for 2028. Because in case you didn't notice, every time a D has won the presidency, the same baby killing machine keeps on grinding along without any issues. Obama/Biden appointed Tom Homan to run DHS/ICE while they reorg'd it so it became possible to deploy into major urban areas. Obama deported 3M people. Trump made Homan his deportation czar in both terms, using the framework that Obama/Biden put in place for him. And Biden knew all of that and changed literally nothing about the policy structure of DHS/ICE while he was in office.
Bush2 admin selected a bunch of countries to topple. 2 of them were Libya and Syria. Obama/Clinton did Libya, and they devastated that place and now it hosts open-air slave markets. Biden/Harris finished did Syria, and the new president of Syria they put in place was a terrorist with a bounty on his head. He was literally decapitating people and Biden/Harris dropped the bounty and made him president of Syria.
Corporations make more profits under Democrats.
Racialized mass incarceration is bi-partisan.
Occupation of colonized lands is bi-partisan.
Mass murder through sanctions of over 800k people each year is bi-partisan.
Global war mongering is bi-partisan.
Ecocide is bi-partisan.
Protecting capitalism is bi-partisan.
This is not solved by voting. It's not solved by primaries. It's solved the same way women got the right to vote, the same way black people got civil rights protections, and the same way labor unions got weekends and sick days.
