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!

Yeah, asking them to lower prices will definitely work 🙄
Better not try and start anywhere then, huh?
It's not even a start. You should be able to criticize ineffective or inconsequential actions that are clearly made to assure the public that something is being done without actually accomplishing anything without someone calling it "a start".
To be clear, while my tone here could easily be interpreted as aggressive towards you, I don't meant it to be that way. It's nice to think that maybe someone in the government actually wants to help the average worker and is actually willing to stand up to our capitalists but it simply isn't the case. Our government officials not only profit from the capitalist we are asking the to limit but they often are those very capitalist.
Why do you assume he just said something and did nothing else though?
They downvote you while ignoring Biden spent Thanksgiving with the CEO of The Carlyle Group.
False. He spent thanksgiving at Rubensteins estate but did have"thanksgiving with the CEO of the carlyle group"
"Rubenstein, who is worth $4.5 billion, will be traveling abroad and will not be at the dinner, according to his spokesperson."
Wow you are easy to disprove. Quiet fun actually.
And what company did Rubenstein found?
Your statement is still false dipshit.
Your anger mirrors MAGA, just as delusional about their leader and will deny every bad thing about them
I don't like him already. Sounds like an organic compound.
They are heavily invested in the war machine and arms manufacturing
There have been actions as well. Among them an EO to the administration to work harder on antitrust enforcement. This has resulted in a significant increase in antitrust cases.
When you see Biden "just talk about something" it's a pretty safe bet to assume that quite a bit is already happening behind the curtains, or even in the open. He's talking about it to bring attention to it as well.
