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!

This is a great idea. Old people never vote.
Take a look at Gen Z dumbasses
And I'm saying this as a Gen Z
I'm not sure the qons plan on elections.
When fElon keeps talking about the need to "move fast" and Bannon talks about muzzle velocity, it's not because the things they are doing are wanted by a majority of the country, or even most of the magamorons that voted for this shit. They feel the need to speed-run through this as fast as possible before anyone can stop them or do anything later (by voting) to reverse this shit show.
Yea, that's what out looks like ri me too. Hopefully they don't get away with it.
They won't be voting if they starve and die before the next election.
Remember that racism has no age limit. These people will blame immigrants and be glad that their social security paid for their deportation.
Let's not castigate an entire generation now, shall we? Broad generalizations are exactly where racism starts.
I agree with you on a general level, but the boomers have brought this on themselves by fucking up society for every generation after them, and they continue to do so from positions of power they should have vacated years ago.
Perhaps they should be the ones to start having to justify their continued reliance on social systems and prove they haven't been a net drain instead here. That's what they seem to be trying to constantly claim immigrants are doing, maybe they need to have those questions asked of them instead.
Agreed. This is the one government agency where the majority of them benefit from its existence.
All but the very youngest boomers are already eligible.
They fucked around for decades, fuck us for decades and it's time they find out.
If one gets to claim that an entire generation beat the Nazis the one gets to claim the subsequent generation sucks.
