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!

“I think for me, you know, two of the wins might be immigration and maybe homeland security,” he said. “But a big loss for him is the economy, and inflation, and the cost of living, which has been a common theme here across Republicans and Democrats.”

  • "independent voter"

Really wish they would stop pretending. Anyone who sees this administration's approach to immigration as a "win" needs to be helped in a way I cannot articulate.

I can articulate it. They need to lose their citizenship and can have it back when they learn what it means.

ah yes, the bigly gains in homeland security that we made tremendously more secure by... um...

Fox is fascist state media, and has been since inception. They're a core predictive variable in the popularity and success of the nazi regime. They wholeheartedly support the Gestapo and gulags.

“I’ve voted my entire life. And the frustration right now is, it’s just unbelievable, because what really changes?” she added. “I just feel like we’re kind of just, you know, kind of steering the ship in the same direction.”

Holy enlightened centrist bullshit, Batman!

"Steering the ship in the same direction"?!

"What really changes?"?!

One side is prone to corporate corruption and political hypocrisy. The other does that too, but even more. And they are also fast-tracking the country into outright fascism!

Seriously. I am perfectly happy to complain about the DNC all day long, and chiefly my complaints are that they are not different ENOUGH from the Republicans, but they are still pretty different in the sense that they aren't actually interested in building concentration camps, murdering protestors, and literally destroying the few remaining parts of the country that actually function.

"Well clearly all 8 of those panelists are radical communist fascist liberal antifa operatives who belong to the deep state illuminati."

That's one of the biggest advantages...

Literally today he was bragging about a bunch of incumbents losing their primaries to radical maga candidates in Indiana...

https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2026-primary-elections/indiana-state-senate-results

Those were are very tight but low turnout races...

trump isn't enough to motivate Republicans anymore, and when he does, it's damn near 50/50 for him or against him.

He'll make midterms about himself, and it's going to backfire.

Vote for facsist ~~Super~~ Fox’s start, be angry about it
