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!

Alternatively this type of bothsiderism while one side is literally disappearing marginalized people off the streets and doing who knows what with them, while doing corruption on a scale never seen, only hurts all that you believe in and encourages apathy.
You're actually a fool if you think the Democrats care about you. Democrats are just Republicans in blue coats with Pride pins. Don't be fooled. They both worship the God that is money.
This is what a 12 year old thinks is deep.
Actual adults read voting records, look at policy differences, look at the people a party is catering to, and understand that life is not fairytales and fluffy floating cakes.
Whether a politician does or doesnt care is irrelevant.
Whether they are the closest available vessel to get you closer to your goals and to keep the people around you safe is what does.
You're thinking with your heart. I think I need to spell this out so: The heart has no brain cells.
There is an extremely obvious difference between the fourth reich and boring neoliberals. If you can't recognize that, you are either being disingenuous or can't get a handle of your emotions over the fact that getting the perfect party you want is impossible, and getting a party close to what you want will take a very long amount of time, requiring a lot of consistency, supporting mid candidates, and will be unfun and boring.
