The only way we can get support to give foreign nations more money for weapons of war is by first agreeing to harsher treatment of asylum seekers at home.

Cool. Great. I'm so glad nothing is fundamentally changing.

Well, Biden did say he was good with compromising with Republicans, and it looks like we're going to finally see it.

Republicans get to make the life of asylum seekers that come to America even worse than trump did...

And Israel gets billions of dollars more to continue their genocide.

Now, you could argue that this is a terrible fucking deal and we don't want either of these things.

But that's true the majority of the time moderates and Republicans compromise.

What do you mean finally? As always with the DNC leadership, the current administration and Senate start every negotiation with a barely acceptable compromise and then lets Republicans take it far to the right of that whether they need (or have any chance of getting) Republican votes or not.

Now, you could argue that this is a terrible fucking deal and we don't want either of these things.

Yup and those times are every time the center right to right wing Dem leadership has any power at all.

Or you could say investing in Ukrainians future, but that won't work with your narrative.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. 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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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!
