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!

He should've primaried Biden. I've written it so much but if it came down to him vs Trump he'd win instantly. He is the only non-controversial Democrat that can replace Biden.
Nooooo. He's been the best governor we've had here in my lifetime. I want him around a bit longer lol.
You have to be joking, right??? I mean no one can actually believe Pritzker has been a great gov. And would make a good president. Have you listened to a news confrence where he has to answer questions? Were you paying attention during the pandemic. He ended cash bail freeing all but the most violent of criminals almost immediately after arrest and in the same year made almost all the tools for law abiding citizens to defend themselves illegal to purchase in the state. Business is fleeing Chicago, Caterpillar moved it's headquarters to Texas. But yeah he's doing a bang up job.
As long as he’s pissing off you Bush-loving, Cheney-loving neocons, he’s got my vote.
For what? Running off the tax base, or making the state one of the best in the country for burglars, car jackers, and rapists?
Must be awesome having your head buried so deep in the sand that you can drink straight from the water table.
This is the guy you think is so great!!!
