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!

"~~America is~~ I am toast if the ~~radical left~~ democrats win."
I wouldn't hold my breath for this to happen even if the Democrats do win, lol
Oh dear... you do know that Trump couldn't do ANY of this shit without Democrats, don't you?
Don't be distracted by AOC, she's the "good one"; we have a few token Ds (and an Independent or two) that represent "classic FDR New Deal democrats", but they certainly don't run the party.
What exactly could democrats be doing that would stop Trump? I can't help but notice you didn't mention anything.
What exactly? Very many things, I could list hundreds. Last time I checked they were passing bills for him routinely, and voting for legislation that he wants.
I can't help but notice that you couldn't come up with anything off the top of your head immediately, kind of a weird question in my opinion.
No, you couldn't because they don't exist. Republicans control all branches of government. Democrats have no power to stop them.
They don't exist because they're not doing very much, not because a list can't be made. Please don't make false claims in a civil discussion, there's no need for that.
I don't have to make a list to please you, it's crazy but I don't work for you or anything. Perhaps read about other representatives around the world and in the USA, and how they stood up to their power mongers. So many ways, come on you can think of ten right now. Make a list for me.
Yeah, Rs and Ds swap every few years, that's what they do. That's all they do. What do you expect them to do? If they toppled the other party, they would immediately collapse. This only works if there is a constant "scapegoat" to blame, with two easily defined sides (like for example theological and secular).
You have nothing. You're just lying.
You have less than nothing. You're deliberately trying to obfuscate to conceal your lack of knowledge. That means your ego is weak, and you can't be trusted with even the most minor of tasks.
Your family is ashamed.
You just projected your own strategy.
Using your "logic" that means you were lying all along and are nothing. Stop projecting
Now you're just saying what i already said. You can't even come up with retorts of your own.
Why would I bother with a new retort? You really think you're something, don't you?
Yeah, you're toasted.
You're sad :(
Here I thought I was feeling delight. Thanks for the insight, didn't know sadness felt so good.
You have misunderstood, as usual.
You're sad as in you're pathetic to OTHERS. Of course you don't see anything wrong with you. That's what makes you so sad.
Personal attacks are an obvious sign of a poor worldview.
Agreed! You should stop making them and you wouldn't get into these situations.
