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!

I've voted neoliberal in every general after fighting for democratic socialists in primaries, hating myself as I did, a vote for quiet slaughter over loud, braggadocious slaughter, not peace, my entire life.
After a lot, lot, lot, lot O pain, turns out the accelerationists might be right. Giving the capitalists/fascists a long enough rope to force hot revolution might be the only possible path to a society and not the murder for profit exploitation camp we've all been living under. Neoliberals just let the frog of capitalist cruelty simmer as capitalists murder us for profit and our neighbors die in homeless tent cities through no fault of their own, but you know, with affirmation ribbons instead of scapegoating. They support your right to love who you love and be who you are... in a cardboard box under a freeway as you die of exposure, sorry, market forces fam 🤷
I just hope when the revolution starts, Americans remember their enemy largely isn't in DC, those are middle managers with the exception of Trump and his cabinet who've cut out the well bribed middleman in the executive branch, they're on Wall Street, in guard gated communities and towers, on golf courses, and in mega yacht supporting ports.
As in all of civilization's history, one need only identify those holding the largest ~~bags of cash~~ asset portfolios as a result of all the carnage to know who is most responsible.
