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'm seriously saddened and disillusioned that so many on the left think trump is the one in charge on that side. He's a grade A moron who is only famous because he is a clown show on wheels. He has bankrupted more companies than anyone else and I'm not talking about the strategic and legal (though bullshit) bankrupting of companies after loading your pocket with their debt. I'm talking strictly about the businesses he couldn't make work while others were doing fine under the same economic circumstances.
I'm getting extremely close to just moving out of the USA. If enough people think that trump is their savior and the rest can't seem to find their way to back any alternative even if it's not who we would prefer (yes, I'm talking about Hillary and now Biden). I'm not sure I want to be around most people in this country anymore. If trump actually wins this time, this country is done for and so few on the left seem to grasp the long term consequences of letting perfect be the enemy of good.
People keep saying that, when was the last time y’all moved our direction instead of to the right
I don't think you would like it outside the US. As what US refers to as left wing is considered right wing in the rest of the world.
I have absolutely no chance of having another country let me move in, but God damn it would be absolutely fantastic to live someplace where I'm considered a right wing nutjob.
