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!

Makes sense. They've been pro-COVID for the last four years.
Most of them have brain cancer so it checks out.
Hah, so Republicans are pro-cancer, who would have thought...
They ARE the cancer, so its just self-preservation
Suffering costs people money. Cancer care costs about $200 billion dollars a year. Who in their right mind would cure cancer when it's so profitable??? /s
Pretty much this. It's this-quarter thinking: if we develop a cure, what are the profits gonna look like this quarter. Not next quarter, not in 3 years when it's proven effective and sells on the market like hotcakes, this quarter. Short-term profit-seeking is killing us all.
The money's in the treatment, not in the cure
We are getting very close to excellent treatments while also multiplying our knowledge base. Now is the time to step on the financial gas. But, we won't, and private business will reap the benefits.
The republicans want china to be first, obviously.
This was supposed to be the illness that everyone could agree is bad. Up is down. Sick? Fuck you, I have to own the libs.
I wonder if the conservatives would vote differently with a Republican president? Shameful either way, blaming it on cutting entitlements.
