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
Every person in Congress is a millionaire and with the exception of maybe 2 or 3 of them, they don’t give a flying fuck about their constituents.
At this point I'm convinced neither the Dems or the GOP actually care about America and our institutions. Dems should be dominating yet they continue to be ok with letting trump win. It's like they don't believe their own rhetoric.
What are you talking about? Surely the Democrats aren't only interested in symbolic, but ultimately vapid posturing..
Not disagreeing, but also think it is important to mention that the GOP is also obsessed with value signalling. No other reason to push the DEI narrative so much.
Need the new breakout dems like AOC, etc…
Watch her conversations with Jon Stewart from last week.
She made a great comment at one point, that the democratic platform needs to have protecting marginalized people not even a thought. It will be such a baseline of the platform that protecting people is not negotiable. And we will no stand by while those people’s rights are eroded. That’s where all fights begin, the conversations don’t even include the culture wars over this because protecting those people is a non starter.
It makes you think that the US is basically a one party state with two different sections
The Party of the Almighty Dollar
Nothing will meaningfully improve until the rich fear for their lives
They don't care about our lives ... or even their lives for that matter ... all they care about is the money.
Once our relationship to money and wealth is changed, then humanity can evolve one more step away from the cave we emerged from 40,000 years ago.
I mean sure both parties are going to serve the Almighty shareholder by finding reasons to avoid wealth taxes, upholding capitalism where the strongest survive (except for corporations that lobby well and need bailed out of course), and using their positions in the government to personally profit. But at least one party is going to recognize that trans people are humans, make an effort to oversee environmental or workers rights, or even admit that human beings deserve to eat in the process.
Or they're in on it...
This is the closest they'll get to finding out what they'd do if they were zapped back in time to Germany in 1930. Apparently, the answer is "wait and see."

This comment was the pinnacle of tonight's lemmying 😂
Going out on a good note. See y'all in a couple days maybe.
Good
FFS, we need age and term limits right now
Our ineffective representatives just need to step down. Term limits might be helpful in the long term, but Bernie and AOC are the only people with their heads on their shoulders right now.
Couldn’t agree more, time to fire up the “Recall Them All” initiative!
