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!

"But both parties are not the same" they screamed as the country burned and the elites on both sides of the aisle lined their pockets off the backs of their suffering constituents.
Come now children and give me your downvotes and paragraphs of bullshit telling me I am wrong.
Far as I am concerned, the Geronocrats are the velvet glove worn by the putrid fist called Republican. They may not be the same, but they certainly fit together.
They may both be shit, but they arent the same....
I mean we're talking just on paper at this point when the Democrats are enabling these neo-Nazi assholes and not putting up meaningful opposition.
I've defended people for both siding shit but damn at this point when you've got Democrats passing Laken Riley Act, which allows immigrants to be deported for being accused of fucking shoplifting and Democrats not only voting for Trump's neo-nazi, dog killing, environment killing nominees and then going on air and waximg poetic about the votes for them. What fucking shitty opposition party is this? It's not.
Your right, both parties are not the same, ones worse as a enabler of abusers, they're more pathetic than Trump's Republicans.
Respectfully i disagree with where you went with this.
The devil is in the details as the saying goes and nuance and minute differences as well as intentions and purposes all matter.
Enabling is not worse than driving an outcome. It may be that the enablers are worse in some instances, but driving the worst outcomes is always worse than taking advantage of it when it's happening.
It's always worth it to get to the bottom of events and understand as much as is possible instead of just labeling things as "close enough so it doesn't matter" that's just going to l lead to enabling in w different way.
"They are both the same so i voted for the ones i find funniest, because they both the same"
