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.

because at the national level it’s not an emergency. it’s the plan all along.
it’s a human emergency and the leaders need nuremberg trials.
but from all sides of the aisles it’s not at all an emergency to them.
Controlled opposition. They think the republican's extremism is just performative and they are playing bad cop to the d good cop still, despite the fact the administration is clearly playing hitler.
If democrats were involved in systematic voter fraud for decades, they would have to be punished. It doesn't matter what Republican power brokers, ivy league suits they went to school with when they both joined those secret clubs whereby they hire business and government leaders almost exclusively, have assured them, that they won't persecute them. They would have to be punished. And they will be, the republicans are already gearing up for it, fixing elections, and projecting that on the democrats, and using the awesome power of the state to suppress the opposition.
One would've thought the democrats after 2020 at the latest would've realized that to save the republic, and themselves, they would've needed to change strategy, to not be good cop whose mission is crushing popular reform for the rich, but rather to offer popular reform, to win and set up a political machine that would dominate and prevent the republicans from getting in running as reform, and fixing the system.
I'm sick of arguing it, the cheerleaders don't argue in good faith, they can't, they can only obscure the issue with slander, personal attacks, misclassifying the situation. Yet we are grown, we can see what happened, it's beyond dispute. These democrats leading the opposition is tantamount to surrendering to the Republicans. There is no scenario where we don't end up in a fascist one party state under reigns of terror indefinitely with these democrats leading us.
That is step 1, we have to organize to get there, but we can't skip ahead to other steps if that one doesn't get completed. Get your fucking head straight America, we need real leadership.
Yeah, the leader of the GOP may have shit his pants on national television, but it's the elected democrats that are shitting the bed.
We have outliers like AOC and Bernie constantly screaming into the void, but the ruling majority are treating this entire government takeover like a brain-dead parent who thinks their gay son is just going through "a phase" .
The grand majority of the democratic party desperately needs to be replaced with people who actually care about the people, and who actually see and acknowledge the problems we are facing as a nation.
