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!

MODERATORS
Congratulations, in my 20 odd years of going on various internet forms and pages, this is probably the stupidest take I have ever seen. God damn your teachers must have been dumbfounded by your ability to be so obtuse.
How will I ever sleep at night knowing I've offended your sensibilities so? I noticed you didn't bother helping me shed the scales from my eyes. So help me out, when am I supposed to vote selfishly and when am I supposed to vote socially, I'm confused. Judging by the down votes, I think I've been doing it wrong most of my voting career. Hate the take, but tell me how their words don't mean their support was purchased by government largess. The things you hate about Republicans you should be equally disappointed in Democrats for doing. That being said, I've no problem with the administration's facilitating relief borrowers qualified for under the terms they agreed to (like PSLF, total disability and 20 year repayment). Eating one party's pork while decrying the other's tainted just furthers the "both sides" fallacy.
TL:DR
Brilliant reply, truly thought provoking. Short enough for you?
