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!

She’s as corrupt as any corporate owned neoliberal Warhawk. Bought and paid for since Bill was govenor. I voted for her because what other choice did I have? But it was a bitter pill to swallow.
So now she's not crooked? Just an ordinary vanilla politician? Because yes. She is a vanilla boring politician. She is not corrupt like a Trump. She is not idiotic like a Dubya. She's not a criminal like the majority of the cabinet positions from the 2016-2020 era of dystopia.
But being a money hungry politician running for political office in an oligarchy. And since Citizens United, the US is one of the most corrupt oligarchies on the planet. It takes money to play and she knows what she has to do to get money to run and win a non-rigged election for even the highest office while giving some energy back to supporters way down the line that voted for her. This is American politics. And it's disgusting.
I think you overestimate most of the planet.
Not at all. Get your head out of the American propaganda and you'll see what a war hungry corrupt nation it is. Shithole country that needs to burn down and start again.
Oh the US is a corrupt, war mongering nation. Absolutely.
But the worst? No.
Not the worst, no, but that's not what they said. They said ONE OF the worst, which is absolutely true.
Okay, you have fun with that.
