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 hey look the Democrats are crying about something but not actually doing anything
Hard to do anything in an elected government if you weren't elected.
Roe v. Wade fell on Biden's watch btw
The block button is a useful tool. You only have to see the troll once and they are gone forever!
Then they get to claim shit uncontested, which comes off like you have no rebuttal so they must be right. Intelligent, educated, mindful, and honest people will know better, but that combo seems to be shrinking in supply virtually each and every day.
Shockingly idiotic reply.
This, he had the chance to codify abortion into law, he didn't take it.
The fact you're being downvoted for simple facts makes me weep for America.
And they didn't get elected because they spent the last four years crying and (mostly) not actually doing anything.
This would hold a lot more weight if they had bothered to do jack shit when they were in office.
Also hard to do anything when the people only give you 50 senators and 2 of them are Manchin and Sinema.
We gave them the seats. As fucking always, they found the no votes. If we gave them all 100 seats, there would be 51 manchins.
Manchin's still a thing?
He's been replaced by our former governor, a Trump loving Republican. What people don't understand is that Manchin was the only Democrat capable of being elected to national office in West Virginia. Yeah he sucked hard, but you'll never see another Democrat get elected in West Virginia outside of local office in the cities.
That sadly might be a good thing, a true enemy is better than a false friend.
He at least voted majority with the party. Jim Justice will vote with Trump 100%
He did? I remember him basically voting "No" on everything.
Then demanding a bunch of compromises from Obama and voting no anyway despite being given everything asked for.
He did indeed vote with the Democrats the majority of the time. Sometimes, sometimes very important times, he and Krysten Sinema decided to fuck things up. This is why he was always in the news and you got that impression.
As always, if there were a few more votes this country would be on a very different trajectory.
Nah, I'm on your side. The Republicans are blatantly ruining this country and breaking the law and the best we can do is just say "hey stop" and then "slam" them in a nothing of consequence article.
What exactly do you want them to do? What legislation can they pass when they don’t control the House or Senate?
How do you expect a political party to solve a crisis caused by private industry? Should they pass legislation against bird flu? More regulations for the poultry industry?
Since you are so smart, what should they do? And how can they fight the majority party that is antagonistic towards everything the democrats try to do?
The Democrats can use Democracy. Require that corporate boards in America vote in their members through employee elections. It's a slim minority of power grubbers that would want to keep raising prices against the poor.
By the way, the senator making this shouting proposed exactly that bill. It didn't make it anywhere, because people don't vote in senate majorities letting them pass such things.
This reads like an AI hallucinated it. I'm amazed the link works.
