I'm so done with this guy.
politics
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!

dude was just on fox giving advice to republicans on how to win in 2026 sooo
Much of the rot in the Democratic Party is directly attributable to its ties to AIPAC.
Man who's literally bought and paid for by a genocidal administration, calls other people the rot for not being corrupt pieces of shit like him.
Bold move.
This guy needs to shut the fuck up. Brain damage should be a reason to be removed from office. Your brain is you and if it's damaged you are technically not yourself anymore.
As someone who suffered brain damage from a TBI, I wholeheartedly agree. His cognitive ability has clearly dropped and his whole personality changed. He's literally not the same person anymore.
Just like I haven't been the same person I was since my accident.
That sucks, hope you're doing OK. I have had family with similar situations, in one, it turned the meanest woman I knew (aunt in law) nice, though completely incompetent. It was surreal.
PA, Ya'll have got to get rid of this guy
Sir you are the rot
I’ve made up my mind I’m never clicking a headline that includes the word slam.
Edit: okay maybe if it includes the word “body” first, and especially of it says “fascist” after
i have made up my mind not to click on articles that say fetterman.
what if it's a review of the 1993 seminal classic slam by onyx?
If I had another party I’d gladly go there instead of getting lumped in with assholes like him.
Are there other assholes like him? I know there's other assholes. But at this point, he's basically a DINO (a term I don't use loosely). The only thing making him kind of Democratic is that he's not tied to the GOP coalition.
So many assholes.
And also I disagree with almost all of their policies.
Guess that makes me a DINO
It depends, if you're left of the candidates, I'd argue that the umbrella still includes you.
If you're agreeing with right-wing extremist positions, the umbrella doesn't include (like Fetterman).
I’m so far to their left the umbrella is dripping on me and one shoulder is getting wet.
And I’d rather not be under the umbrella in the first place. They’re all like”oh boy hierarchy and rules! I love my imaginary lines in the dirt!”
this is pretty much what makes me a centerist. our country is the constitution. it came into being with its rattification and exists only so long as it does. being a citizen means accepting it as the framework for our rule of law in the society. no issue is as important to me as getting back to following the constitution and prosecuting every violation of it. So im big on rules but hierarchy no so much that its about running the system.
I'd argue that the umbrella still includes you.
Except rightwing positions tend to be represented by the umbrella's actions a lot better than leftwing positions.
We do have other parties.
The problem is FPTP voting which (just to explain for anyone who hasn't heard this a million times) makes it irrational to vote for a third-party, because every vote for a party that isn't the closest-to-center-bell-curve-left party is more likely to split the vote for left-leaning voters, and therefore functions as a vote for right (in the US's case, fascist) party.
And the problem with that is, we need to implement ranked choice or similar voting in state- and nation-wide races for the situation to improve, which takes years of planning in every locality, and our attention is absolutely destroyed by constant crises.
Yes the system is bullshit which is why I have no faith in it.
