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!

US politics is a political soap opera clown show that has a game show component that puts the global audience at risk of all sorts of dangers and even death.
The US doesn't have politics, it's just a theatrical front for the rich and powerful who actually run the country.
The audience laughs at it with fear because they know it's all fake but can't do anything about it.
The players laugh at it because they know it's fake and they get paid enormous amounts of money to perform
The owners laugh at it because they know it's fake and there's nothing anyone can or is allowed to do anything about it
You're just adding more hyperbolic outrage fuel to the fire. None of this is true because things do change. Apathy is just as bad as ignorance. Repeal Citizens United. Champion ranked choice voting at your local level so we can kick out the extremists that are dead-locking policy.
People who let themselves believe the whole game is rigged are just making an excuse to not have to do the very hard work of maintenance. People who espouse that the game is rigged, and then convince others that all effort is futile are just as bad as Fox News. Man up you bitchy cunts. Get the fuck out there and vote.
I would say if it was all fully meaningless they wouldn't try so hard to disenfranchise people.
In Iran's presidential elections, the public is offered a slate of candidates who have been screened and approved by the unelected Guardian Council, which is comprised of religious and legal scholars.
In America's presidential elections, the public is offered a slate of candidates who have been screened and approved by the unelected wealthy elites, which is comprised of the people who steal ~90% of the nation's wealth.
I agree with you. It's mostly just theater. Biden is the clear choice over Trump, but the American people will never get the president they want and need under the current system, which is a president who will stand up to the wealthy elites for the people, like FDR, TR, and JFK.
Well you tried and you failed miserably.
The important thing is: Never try.
