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!

MODERATORS
That was on the ballot in 2024. America said, "No. We want crime, disease, and pain."
That is the only place it stays, on the ballot not in policy, bills. Because that would hurt the donors.
America just said no to duplicity.
It was on the ballot in 2020, we voted for it. Democrats have no credibility since they don't follow through.
So why couldn't they do that in the last 4 years?
Because the Republicans, or a mysteriously convenient amount of Dems voted it down every time?
And you say this has been going on for 20 years now?
I'm gonna go out on a limb and say the Dems probably wouldn't have been able to pass stuff yet again if they were in power.
Really we need to dimantle the Duopoly and take our country back
"Look ignore 20 years of policy and corporate donations, maybe next time we'll give you the medication you need to live for $5 cheaper!"
Provided you're a boomer and meet our means testing requirements.
A cap on the price Medicaid would pay for insulin for the people it covers and unenforced pledge from pharmaceutical companies to cap their prices that they could reverse at any time was on the ballot
Better than what we're about to get, but far short of the right it should be
