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!

More and more it looks like controlled opposition. It sounded like a conspiracy theory, but I'm now truly starting to be convinced that Schummer and Jeffries were bought.
Both parties are bought. Citizens United legalized all bribery.
Yes and no. There's no doubt that many Democrats are corrupted, but there are still politicians (looks like mostly progressives) who care about people.
Republicans at this point do it in the open.
Its just beyond the pale at this point.
And Schumer has out right said it. His service isn't to the American people but to Israel.
If you'll allow me to put on my tin foil hat for a second,
I genuinely wonder if Israel is privately instructing them to not actually oppose Trump whatsoever.
They're both EXTREMELY bought and paid for by AIPAC. And we know Israel LOVES Trump and Pete Kegs-breath because they both are the biggest supporters of Israel's war crimes that've ever been in their respective positions.
Always has been. Both parties are bought, largely by the same donors. That doesn't mean both parties are the same, but they still both serve the corporations and billionaires that pay them.
