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
To be fair all Democrats are widely unpopular with Republicans. When one comes into the spotlight the first thing they do is try to discredit them with bullshit. It could be Mr. Rogers himself.
Republicans started a campaign against Hillary at the the start of Bill Clinton's Presidency. The playback to hurt Bill, who they had no answer for, was simular to what they are doing to Hunter Biden now. They knew she was smart and Bill was using her as an advisor. They investigated her and trash talked her for years. This gradually embedded itself into the American psyche so when she did start to achieve on her own, the Republican myths surfaced. You can still still see see them in this string.
Republicans didn't force her to collude with the DNC to tamper with the primary. Nor did they force her to campaign on such gems as "$15/hr minimum wage is too high" and "we don't need universal health care" and "if you don't vote for me you're sexist."
And that's just in places where she actually campaigned.
Also refusing to condemn the Iraq war as a mistake was a HUGE no no for me. I will never forgive any prominent politicians involved in the pointless war.
