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!

Is he wrong?
Trump? always
How? Americans don't really understand how their government works, they just blame the president whenever something goes wrong.
Thanks Obama.
How old are you?
31 lol
Been around long enough to be extremely disappointed in American voters
Ok generic and unskilled misinformationman
Morons will blame Biden, shutdown or no
Exactly. The people down voting me are way too optimistic about the average American.
As far as I'm aware, every time the GOP has shut down the government, it's backfired on them. It seems to be the one thing that voters are able to reliably correctly lay blame for, so yeah, I'd say he's wrong.
Honestly, I kinda wonder why that is? Like, why is this the one thing they cannot reliably deflect the blame for? They manage it for just about all their other bullshit.
Since we're asking rhetorical questions: are you stupid?
Yeah I'm dumb as fuck, but that's not really relevant. When bad things happen, Americans blamr the president. Deal with it.
How about "no"?
No what? Americans don't blame the president when bad things happen?
"You and yours" may be simple, but don't assume the same for "me and mine", fucking thanks.
I'm sure you're very smart and not just another dumb American
