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!

The inflation reduction act as passed can't hold a candle to the worst parts of the green new deal, they couldn't even touch minimum wage. If thats alliance, I'd hate to be their enemy.
It's what we could get through the Senate. That body is designed to favor the most conservative.
I'll take what I can actually get over an actively hostile government any day
Now you're moving the goalposts what happened to the supposed alliance? Im not talking about what you'll take out of a broken legislature, im saying there has been no effort on an actual alliance with anyone to the left of centerist democrats. No longer endorsing people who challenge them is hardly an alliance. Neither is what every other country would simply call a normal infrastructure bill. If things like preventing bridges from falling down and fixing roads long out of spec is a gift to progressives, then the Democrats are truly an incompetent party and there's little hope anything gets done regardless of who's in charge.
Hardly. We got what what was possible as a minority within the Democratic party which held an incredibly narrow margin in the Senate.
So no alliance.
Without involvement, we'd have gotten less than nothing, so you're just trolling.
You started talking about alliances, and when pushed for any indication that's real you now avoid talking about it all together. I'm not the troll here. We were talking about some prospective alliance and you failed to substantiate any proof such a thing exists, all you can do is detract from the point of the exchange. That's exactly what moving the goalposts is, the one trolling is you.
Oh yes, trying to reverse victim and offender. Standard troll behavior.
Im not the one who can't answer the question, where is the evidence of the alliance you claim? You must have spent four responses dodging that question, troll. You made a claim you can't back up and now cant even acknowledge it so instead the entirety of your comment is name calling. Keep astroturfing opinions you cant substantiate though, that's very Democrat of you.
