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!

Those prefering Obama need to be reminded who he was and not who the manufactured legacy creators have sculpted HIM out to be. He's as large a POS as the current POS that laid the foundations and created the tools that Trump's currently using.
Really lot of stupid takes on here but congrats, this has to rank towards the top.
BlueMAGA isnt as far removed from MAGA as they like to believe. Both refuse to see what's in front of them regardless of their fascist leaders but see it plain as day in others
Yeah, no
The guy definitely is flawed, he did a whole lot of shitty things and in any European country he would have never made it to any position with power.
Having said that: comparing him to Trump is disingenuous at best. The guy is thoughtful and generally respectful and can carry a conversation, he did not go full Gestapo on Americans, he didn't alienate every ally the US had, he didn't go to try and destroy the country and I could go on.
All US presidents since WWII have been shite, but I'd say Obama probably has been the best president of the US since WWII
He built cages for kids, trump put kids in them. He denied due process for deportation like Trump. The list is endless
best president of the US since WWII?
I know "best president" seems like a high honor but really this is the US we're talking about. A lot of those fuckers didn't even support civil rights.
Stalin & Hitler are both bad because they killed people.
