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!

"I'm not president right now."
Neither is she, dumbass.
T: "She has no plan!"
Mod: "Do you have a plan?"
T: "Oh, well I'm not president yet so of course not yet!"
Imagine thinking that's a great way to convince people you're the right person for the job...
"I haven't looked into any potential solutions, but vote for me and I promise I'll try to find time to think about it!"
If you were perpetually "two weeks away" from releasing your "beautiful" healthcare plan 6 years ago then wtf are you doing now with nothing?
Worse, imagine how stupid you'd have to be to actually be convinced that he's the right person for the job. And then despair, because half the voters are that fucking stupid.
everytime he's out golfing he's conceptualizing a plan.
MF was pres for 4 years and we’re still joking about “infrastructure week”.
Moreover the entire republican party has been screeching “repeal and replace” and not once put up a plan or alternative to ACA.
They are all mentally bankrupt.
*Morally bankrupt
These aren't the actions of idiots, they're the actions of a group playing a bunch of idiots. Might seem like a distinction without a difference, but it's there.
Exactly.
This is all going according to some plan.
Capitalism seeks to optimize the use of resources.
Things are not optimized for you, they are optimized for the people that made the plan.
They are all mentally defective.
