... nothing is ever good for people like you

People like you are easily placated by insincere token gestures.

No, I just see the bigger picture and understand how things actually work instead or some fantasy where Dems have power

I just see the bigger picture

how things actually work

some fantasy where Dems have power

S.1071 - National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2026

On passage Passed by the Yeas and Nays: 312 - 112 (Roll no. 320)

Motion to proceed to consideration of the House message to accompany S. 1071 agreed to in Senate by Yea-Nay Vote. 75 - 22

Senate agreed to the House amendment to S. 1071 by Yea-Nay Vote. 77 - 20

The majority of Dems are complicit - occasionally even enthusiastic - for these atrocities.

Your hijacking the conversation and changing the context, 25th amendment is the topic

All you are doing is spamming

The fantasy is believing anyone's vote will be changed by a commission, oh great big picture understander.

Commissions expose truth, people pay attention, votes can change

Has that... ever actually worked in American history?

Thanks for all the examples. I'm convinced!

[-] sturmblast@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

If only there was a vast digital resource where you could look up information.

[-] mattyroses@lemmy.today 3 points 2 days ago

Yes, the Dems have not held power since 2016!

Also, I was in a coma from 21-23 and haven't checked the news.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. 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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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!
