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!

FINALLY. Someone thinking about the billionaires.
Can we stop being stupid?
This doesn't mean he thinks billionaires shouldn't pay more taxes. It means it's childish and stupid to focus on a single number when it comes to actual policy.
You know what stupid not seeing this for what it is. Pandering to billionaires for campaign contributions. Thus the citizens unit comment. I just wanted to get in there and really spell it out for you because you seem a bit dim.
Jesus christ, you guys are such excitable morons. Newsome will undo Trump's tax cuts. Everyone knows that, including billionaires.
Keep calling me stupid when you believe in some dumbfuck baseless conspiracy theory that Newsome raising taxes SOMEHOW won't affect billionaires so they'll give him money.
More bullshit unsubstantiated lies from MAGA's best friend, phoney fucking "prorgressives" who can't think past fucking buzzwords.
I’d argue. It’s pretty fucking stupid if you can’t wrap your head around how the destruction of the middle class in America and the consolidation of wealth in the hands of 10,000 or so people has been a fucking tragedy for our political system. Hell it’s been a tragedy for our countries basic cohesion. I don’t really think you need to be labeling things as stupid. You didn’t even come up with a real rebuttal. This reply was moronic and there’s really nothing else I can go on so: fuck you have a great day.
How many times are you going to respond to my same comment, psycho?
Here’s a policy suggestion. Remove citizens united.
Uh ok? I agree with that and nothing I said would indicate otherwise.
Most of the political issues I’m dealing with stem from wealth inequality. That makes me a single issue voter. Perhaps that is childish.
And when has putting in Republicans in power improved wealth inequality? You're a single issue voter helping the party that opposes said issue. Pretty fucking embarrassing.
