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!

Who gives a fuck, they're all owned by people who travel in the same circles, all presenting the kayfabe reality that is US politics. That one side will fix the problems of the other, when really, they're hanging out in the locker rooms and you're the ones buying tickets and paying their salaries.
Republicans love Democrats; nobody else would let them get away with the shit they do.
Democrats love Republicans; they only have to act 1% better than absolute dogshit and they'll get all the votes they need.
Neither one wants to change anything that's occurring right now, because they're all getting fantastically rich and enjoying power and protection you and I could only dream of. Who wants to change the system and fuck all that up?
You're totally right. Democrats and Republics are exactly the same, there's no reason to vote for a Democrat. Life in America is exactly the same now as it was in 2023, stay home on election day and definitely don't vote for any Democrats.
No democrats are worse because Harris loves genocide.
The sarcasm
Your head
Maybe. The person I responded to has been aggressively shilling for Trump for a long time.
Hmm you may be right. I recognized the username but I hadn't seen them actively posting politically.
You may be right. I'll err on the side of civility and assume sarcasm.
I literally run the !conservative@sh.itjust.works community.
Indeed, just the first time I've come across it.
