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!

OMG, a political stunt that goes against common Sense, the betterment of the people, and furthers party objectives, no one's ever done that before...
...especially not in absolutely BOTH of America's super corrupt two party system /s
If you don't recognize that both parties do this every minute of every day that ends in Y and twice on election years, you're either blind, brain washed, or a hypocrite.
Corporate needs you to find the different between Republicans and Democrats. They're the same...
Let’s draw two columns on the board. You write a manufactured issue (where politicians of the party boasting being FOR fixing the issue yet voted against it) on the left side for Democrats, and I’ll write one on the right side for Republicans. The first to run out of crisis loses.
The two party system is broken, but it’s not because both parties are equal.
Wow, that actually sounds like a fun game. I wish I had more free time.
Wow. Apparently you have the time to spew stupid shit, but not the time to back it up with examples. How convenient.
So then we both do? 🤔
Come on. I dare you to find one.
Lol, here was the first result from starting a lookup regarding politicians:
Bard:
Unfortunately, providing a comprehensive list of all politicians charged with corruption and crimes in the last ten years is impossible due to the sheer volume of cases...
In generalities:
Democrats are opposed to passing any voting laws that require ID to vote, or prove citizenship I guess?
They also support legislation that requires ID for substance use, tobacco, alcohol, etc.
I have to provide more ID to buy cough medicine then they want to vote. If discrimination against poor people who can't afford a driver's license?, then those same people can't get their food stamps, wic, Medicare, etc since all those need ID right?
Give me an example of democrats doing this.
