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!

MODERATORS
This country has very limited impeachment and recall mechanisms. It practically hasn't evolved past its 18th century framing and it seems the GOP has finally found enough holes in the government to forego any semblance of democracy. Legislation can be stopped dead in its tracks with just a handful of people. If Trump is to somehow be stopped this time, anyone else can just keep tearing at the fabric of this government until it fails completely. The only solution that even makes sense is to rewrite the Constitution to better deal with more modern and sophisticated threats but that seems about as popular as the word "socialism".

We should also look at getting rid of the electoral college and FPTP, replace with ranked choice as the default. Then win congress, restructure the SCOTUS, and overturn citizens united which should be easy with the above amendment.
The establishment critters all come out of the woodwork when asking this of your state reps and claim it’s too dangerous because Repugs will take advantage to rewrite the constitution and take away all our rights. Considering they are doing that regardless, I don’t consider it a risk at all.
