Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. 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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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!

...it is not good enough just to be critical of Trump and his destructive policies.

(Thought that was a good addition from the article, left out of the subtitle.)

Here are just a few of the issues that must be addressed:

  1. We must create a vibrant democracy by ending Citizens United and preventing billionaires from buying elections.

  2. Whether the Democratic establishment likes it or not, we must guarantee healthcare as a human right through Medicare for All.

  3. We must build millions of affordable homes and apartments and give our younger generation the opportunity to own a home of their own.

  4. We must make public colleges, universities, trade schools and medical schools tuition-free and have the best childcare and public school system in the entire world.

  5. We must expand social security and bring back traditional pension plans so that every senior in this country can retire with dignity.

  6. We must raise the minimum wage to a living wage and guarantee every worker the right to join a union.

  7. We must demand that the wealthiest people and most profitable corporations in America pay their fair share in taxes.
