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!

Cori Bush was homeless within 2 years of being elected iirc.
2 years prior to being elected.
And that simply doesn't mean she's in touch. She may have started that way, but once lobbyists and their ilk dig their claws in, they quickly forget the reasons they were there in the first place. Now, I don't know her specifically and the first article I read made her out to be a seemingly level headed person, but look at her voting record. That will tell the true story. But this is part of the problem we have with Congress. "Yeah Congress is doing terrible right now but 'my guy' is doing fine, it's everyone else who's trash". yeah, when everyone thinks this way, nothing ever changes. Congress should have term limits. Congress is like a diaper. Should be changed often and for the same reason.
How did I know you would say that lmao
where's the lie? it was prior to her being elected, and i admitted to not knowing much about her personally, did a modicum of research, then commented about how once in office, the power corrupts.
You moved the goalposts from being in touch to being in connection with lobbyists
you people are impossible.
I'm really glad you think so.
