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!

it seems like please since Republicans are all morons
I've seen people here supporting a war on Iran because of WMDs and women's rights. The brain rot extends way beyond the Republican party; there's a reason DNC Zionists haven't come out against this.
I supported a war in Iraq because of WMDs and women's rights. I was also 12 at the time and gullible enough to believe Iraq actually did have WMDs.
Now that I'm older and less gullible, the sense of deja vu is nauseating.
Well I'm not a fan of Iran myself, but talking about nukes and mob deployments is incredibly scary and dangerous stuff, and likely overkill considering not long ago there was a nuclear agreement and what not. This all seems to me like is Israel who is the problem more than Iran. But I also think the 'DNC Zionist' shit is a bit overblown as well.
The only thing the DNC actually believes is "Israel has always right to defend itself"
No, they believe they profit, financially and politically.
They always profit. They're running a duopoly
