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!

Ah, so they're working on new ways to ruin the lives of anyone who protests ICE.
Eh, well, despite the narrative that protestors are lazy and wealthy, most of us take a loss to get the day off to protest. Freezing my over-drawn account is not the worst thing to happen to me. By all means, make capitalism impossible, we’ll just be forced to barter and trade.
Just want to point out that they are adding friction to commerce or making it "impossible" as you say for some people, but that isn't making capitalism impossible. Corporate Authoritarianism is basically the logical outcome of capitalism and we are there now.
Too many people conflate capitalism with commerce. You can totally have a different system and still have a similar type of commerce that we know today.
Yep. Too many entrepreneurs think they're capitalists. Small business owner operators protecting a system that protects the interest of financiers.
AKA petit bourgeoisie
Why's everyone making such a big deal? It's just a petit bourgeoisie!
It’s funny (as in not at all) because I said the same thing a few years back and people thought I was crazy
The best way to demonstrate this is by playing Monopoly with a competitive family and not insisting to play strictly by the rulebook. The winners (capitalists) will invent all sorts of ways to keep the game dragging on while still inflicting financial pain on the other players. They will loan money at ridiculous rates, they will buy stuff off people out of turn so they can remain solvent, they will let them have just enough money to collect $200 by passing go, but not enough money to ever exit the game.
