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
They were OK before the ruling too so long as there's an (R) behind the name.
Trying to find it again, but I had seen a set of polls earlier where they had asked some republicans "Would you be ok with a convicted felon as president?" and other republicans "would you be ok with Trump as president if he were a convicted felon?", and the ones asked the Trump version had said yes at a much higher rate than the generic question.
They do this for everything, actually. Repubs have no values other than whatever currently benefits their in group.
That's one thing that drives me fucking crazy, voters let that single letter define if they support policy or hate it. If trump had done and said everything he's done over the last several years but had a (D) they would hate him. And vice versa.
It's not a bipartisan issue. Democrats do not have the same slavish adoration for their leaders that Republicans do.
I'm a Democrat and I have a Sexy Shirtless Photo of Genocide Joe Biden on my wall!
They are actually claiming that genocide is the lesser evil, yes, they do have a slavish adoration for their leaders
Al Franken quit. Bob Menendez is facing trial. Rod Blagojevich was convicted. Wiener and Cuomo were shamed from office
Jim Jordan is still there. Matt Gaetz is still there. It took comic-book levels of evil to turf Santos.
And then we have Trump.
So no, being critical of your own team isn’t bipartisan. It may have been at one time, but that’s at least thirty years ago.
You're a god damned idiot if you don't think there would be at least as much genocide under Trump.
I'm not claiming there wouldn't be but right now that is speculation, right now. Biden is actively engaging in it
Another voice calling you out on this bullshit.
Team Blue has kicked and will kick members out who give the party a bad name. Hell, they'll kick 'em out before the conviction. That doesn't happen with Republicans, with only Santos (gee, Hispanic name, I wonder why) facing the music for his bullshit in all of the GQP.
Fuck this Both Sides bullshit. It's not true, and we shouldn't stand for it.
They kick Henry Cuellar, pro life under federal investigation. They didn't kick Menendez currently under indictment. They didn't kick pro life Pelosi.
