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!

Sean Hannity: As usual the Demonrats are LYING about how our brave Congress stood up to the elites that were demanding that you give your hard earned tax money to democrat pharma companies! They aren't looking to cure cancer, they're LYING!
and every maga moron will believe it.
There is no true reality to be agreed upon when propaganda is allowed to run so rampant. I FULLY believe 1000000% that the BIGGEST problem we have is propaganda. Solve that and we can actually start making progress.
How do you stop propaganda when the first amendment is freedom of speech?
That's why we haven't solved it. I really don't know what the answer is to be honest.
The closest I can think of is enforcing some regulations about news media. Fox and anyone else should NOT be allowed to have their opinion shows where they lie with impunity on the same network/channel as their actual journalistic programs.
Ask any Magoo what they think of Sean Hannity (opinion host) and then ask them what they thought of Shepard Smith (actual news anchor) they were both on fox and you'll see the result.
My father: Shepard Smith is too opinionated that's why I trust Hannity more.
We've been trampling over the first amendment for decades. Not saying it's a good thing, but there's absolutely precedent.
we will always have stupid, hateful, regressive people in our society, and we will always have those that cater to them to make a buck. it's easier and better to instead try and work around them to advance society anyway. they'll complain about anything and everything no matter what we do. might as well do good.
maga morons don't matter. when will people understand, winning for democrats is not about deprogramming cult members. it's about winning the undecided and energizing their base so they actually get their ass to the voting machines.
conservatives are and always have been a minority. the reason they keep winning is that they vote. and they do everything in their power to prevent others from voting.
I hate that I read this in his voice.
