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!

Oh NO! See Democrats TRIED but Now they CANT (UNLESS you DONATE!)!
Keep moving the dems to the right buddy. You’re doing a fantastic job of it. You’ll be the reason why Jeb Bush or any other far right asshole runs as a democrat. And then you’ll vote for all these republican policies that you pretend to be against. Centrists and moderates are 100% the reason why trump got power. That “good” that you mention does NOTHING. We are so fucked for the next election since you trojan horses have learned NOTHING
I'm literally a member of my state Democratic party's progressive caucus.
I'm sure you're very knowledgeable about how American political parties function.
Reads like the far right option of above diagram.
Only people who can do much now are the ones with guns
Everyone else is left to jockey for position
Edit to add:
What are you doing to secure power for those in your life? This is a vacuum opening up. The Constitution (despite what I just heard SCJ Jackson say on Democracy Now) is fuckin dead fam. States and local governments are going to SCRAMBLE to figure out what they can get away with. And they're not gonna ask congress or judges, they're just gonna do it.
So. What are you doing to protect yourselves? Meet your neighbors. Install cameras and motion sensors. Plant poisonous plants where feds might come sneaking. Do. SOMETHING.
Edit to add NPr just dropped the bomb
