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!

Biden tried the working with Republican thing. They hated him and demonised him.
Why even try?
Why try to negotiate with a party who base their entire personalities on obstruction and destroying the government?
Because Dems can't accept that Republicans are a lost cause and they just need to motivate their base instead of trying to appeal to the worst half of the voting populace.
The problem might be that Dems are a right-wing party and they want to work with the other right-wing party.
But they don't understand - and this makes no sense, because the evidence is obvious - that they have been demonised from since before I was born as being what they are not, namely socialist and communist.
Dems are conservstive, as in what the term originally meant, not right wing.
I define the Dems as right wing, sorry.
I'm pretty sure the Dems fit this definition, overall: "The neo-liberal right sought to combine a market economy and economic deregulation with the traditional right-wing beliefs in patriotism, elitism and law and order".

You are wrong, not sorry.
Okay. Thanks for not trying to change my mind.
"Right-wing politics is the range of political ideologies that view certain social orders and hierarchies as inevitable, natural, normal, or desirable..."
You say "Dems are conservstive". What are they conserving? Would it be certain social orders and hierarchies?
Either you are trollling or have such a skewed version of reality that even trying didn't cross my mind. I assume it is the latter.
Thanks! That might well be, unintentionally, a compliment.
Well I take that back, you are clearly a troll.
Thanks!
You said “Dems are conservstive [sic]”. What are they conserving? Would it be certain social orders and hierarchies?
Because “Right-wing politics is the range of political ideologies that view certain social orders and hierarchies as inevitable, natural, normal, or desirable…”
Feel free to explain how Dems can be conservative without being right-wing. Perhaps you could point to a textbook on political theory I haven't read.
No
I have to say, as a teacher myself, you might not be the best cut out for the job.
I'll go to my politics class and see if they can better explain how Dems, being conservative, are or are not right-wing. Would you like to read the best two or three essays?
I don't want your fictional essays from your fictional background.
