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!

When he eventually falls, due to politics or health or time, those who propped him up should be made to answer.
Or, crazy thought, they should be made to answer now.
You’d be a great PR guy for the DNC with those empty, spineless, push-it-down-the-road words.
Maybe pick your battles. I don't think dude here is the cause of your woes.
What a thing to say.
You could make your point without attacking op.
It’s so fun that the USA is rapidly falling to pieces and the thing you’re upset about is that I wasn’t perfectly nice to the guy displaying the kinda attitude that has kept that shithole country from real progress for nearly the entirety of its life.
Too bad, it’s time to grow up and actually do something and I’m not gunna let people jerk themselves off over empty, feel-good nonsense.
Edit: The guy responsed to me. See for yourself how little they understand their own words, how little weight they carry.
Bait used to be believable smh...
Holding people accountable requires the political will to do so - and I’m talking about the people, not Congress.
The fascists won’t back down until and unless they’re afraid. They have to be made to feel fear. The old systems of shame and voting and criminal prosecution don’t work anymore.
Fourth box.
Answering now is preferred. Now, who you gonna find that's gonna do that? Congress is fucked, the courts are fucked, the police are fucked. That's why they get to run riot.
Unless you find someone to go "Surprise, it'sa me Mario!" on these people, there's nothing else right now.
You tell me, tough guy. When he dies or otherwise leaves office, who’s gunna do what you’re asking for? This is why your words are worthless, you have no idea what they even mean.
Actually, I will tell you, because we both know you don’t have an answer. There are millions of people protesting in the US right now, hundreds or even thousands of politicians who don’t get elected because their barely leftist politics are “too radical”, and so many judges who are right now trying to push ack against the administration and would be happy to punish them.
You’re talking out your ass, and unsurprisingly the only thing coming out is shit. “Now is preferable” fuck off and demand it, coward.
So do what needs to be done "tough guy", go ahead. Use your 2A rights and defend your constitution.
I’m Canadian, and I did this cheeky little thing called not voting for obvious evil(and oh boy, did we have that choice). In fact, my home riding was the one where the Conservative Trump boot licker had held strong for twenty years and was basically guaranteed and they told him to fuck right off.
You made the big empty comment, I’m just calling you out for the loser you are and you’re mad about it.
That won't happen. High road, time to heal, all that. Ask Argentina.
I prefer the French example
