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!

Tim Walz and Jacob Fry: We’re powerless to stop this. We say we want them out of our state, but you have to film them for us in case an adult comes to help
Image having your life ruined after trying nothing and it didn’t work
Hobeso, these cowards are getting what they deserve for appeasement of fascists
Something something states rights
I hope both Walz and Frey can get it through their skulls that this isn't going to be fixed with tge system as it is.
It's the rest of us who need to get that message. Walz and Frey are irrelevant.
Doesn't matter if they want to be useless, worst case scenario they're going to be a lesson to the rest of the neoliberals that this fight isn't optional.
They won't lead, they're not following protestors, and just by existing in office they're refusing to get out of the way for people who will use what governor and mayors have at their disposal.
They wouldnt do any of the three to help us, but if it becomes clear they're go down for shit like this even though they haven't actually done anything...
Self preservation will at least get them out of the way and states/cities can get better representation that will fight for them. We don't have to wait for midterms to solidify the Dem party, the neoliberals can just run away to their oligarchs now and save time.
Neoliberals are on the side MAGA
They're not.
They're on the side of wealth and power. And there's a lot of overlap because extreme wealth is in the hands of a very small amount of people for them to lobby.
Even then, the two groups handles it very differently.
Neoliberals beg for crumbs, MAGA is willing to let everyone starve unless lil Donnie is the only one who gets two scoops. If everyone gets two scoops, they don't want anyone to get anything because then there's not a clear sign they're better.
The only thing that is more shocking than the brutality of this administration, is their laughable incompetence.
They've already tried to cheat to secure Grand Jury indictments. No jury if going to sign shit for these pyshoctic fuckers.
