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!

I liked obama for look and feel (I mean whitehouse made meade from beehives pollinating the white house organic garden. it was orgasmic.) but man he wasted his first term. I have to give it to biden over obama on how much was done in the first term. Now it does have to be pointed out that biden accomplished what he did because as vp he already learned its useless to bother trying to work with the republicans which is what kept down obamas first term.
The aca is complicated and I am not trying to reduce it but the big effect for the general population is getting rid of pre existing conditions. Under biden we got no surprise billing which is a very significant improvement. Further the keeping medical debt off credit reports is also very significant. This is all outside the ombudsman bill that tackled fixing the trump1 economy, made a push toward lowering the us impact on the climate, and fixed our ailing infrastructure. Then you have what he did for education debt and I think this is a big one as he got a lot of criticism for not getting what he wanted to begin with but to me this really showed his quality. He was like the chumba wumba song getting his stuff knocked down and coming back with something else. He did not give up on it. Then the various agency thing like limiting bank and credit card fees along with getting rid of no competes. Now much has been torn back down by trump but that is not his fault.
