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!

Thanks. I needed a rally to know that. So what's the plan to stop this screw over without relying on the people to be cannon fodder and resort to violence? More rallies and fund raisers for the party of the meek and moral victories? Bit of /s in there.
No, you are so right, why have rallies at all, when we can just let everyone think they are alone in their opposition to fascism. What's the point of letting the media and politicians know the current administration does NOT have a mandate.
Rallies unite and focus people. People meet at these rallies, become friends, form groups, etc.
You can unite, focus, make friends, form groups at the peaceful protests going on right now. The people are doing something. The perception I am getting is two people already in positions of influence trying to make changes, making money hand over fist doing these things, and getting screwed again by people like Schumer and Pelosi. Heart's in the right place, method needs to change.
Can you point me to where they are making money? Or just a general all politicians are making money deal. Cause for sure on that.
Why not both? We need to be hitting the road running from as many angles as we can to get people mobilized.
it is about time. i am willing to be cannon fodder and start standing in front of tanks. let's shut down the ICE facilities
Grassroots Organization. Spread the word about upcoming fed and state elections. Bring the truth to light and tell it to everyone.
Research the names of companies that have donated to Heritage Foundation, Trump, and Republican party.
There is none. Bernie has passed the torch to AOC whose politics are subordinate to the democrats.
