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!

this was the first and only administration on my memory to openly support unions. They've done quite a few things to improve lives. They did help out their rich donors/friends/sympathithers but not even close to the scale POTUS45 done it.
In all honesty both Dems and Reps should go. Country deserves pluralism and not the false duality. BUT right now, at this moment in time Dems are the only real shot at moving forward. After election, start up the grill and hold their feet to fire and FORCE them to change then otherwise rally behind any other party and make damn sure they win next ellection. Doing so at 11th hour is reckless
*Most important election of our lifetime
In the 36 years I've been able to vote, every time it's the most important election of our lifetime. Caused by a self inflicted existential crisis.
We are not doing this at the 11th hour, many of us have been doing it all our lives.
then support for other parties should've been declared much earlier, never dangled like carrot in front of Dems, 'cause by now you should know it won't work. I get it. In present system there's very little chance of third party getting to power, but look at Canada - NDP was able to wield power with much lower representation. How? Minority government forces compromise and concessions. In other words it can be done, but work needs to start right after prior election, not before current
