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!

And MAGA thought T-rump was gonna “fix” the fucking economy. 🤦🏻 Biden brought down inflation faster than any other country after the pandemic and that wasn’t good enough for them. So they elected the world‘s stupidest businessman. I guess you can’t expect much from the people who thought “let’s go Brandon” was super clever.
It is not a political ideology. It is mental illness. These people are a danger to society, and themselves.
People tried "acceptance" as a strategy and unsurprisingly - it didn't work.
What else is there left to do? Do we just bully the shit out of these idiots until they can't live with themselves? How do you legally reduce the amount of literal idiots in the world? Force them into education programs? Mental health programs?
Unfortunately, it wasn't just the brainless redhats that kept going on about inflation and how this was the worstest economy ever, it was a lot of others, too, and at least some of them should have fucking known better, but didn't care, or were actively working to get little d back in power.
I'm so tired of the people that tell me how terrible it was for Biden/Kamala to list the economy as one of their highlights because not everyone was doing fantastic (name me one time in American history where you couldn't find someone having economic hardship, FFS). The notion that staying home and pouting or voting for little d was going to improve anything is so obviously a fucking lie, one for which all but billionaires are going to pay for...
