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.

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.

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!"

Wake up call for who? Will the Democrats ever wake up and give their base something to vote for, instead of "hey, the other guys's worse, whaddya gonna do?".
The republican approved toll road bill that we got Elizabeth Warren style "let's split it into two bills!" except only the bad bill got passed?
Are you seriously listing Obama fracking the shit out of the midwest as a positive?? And who the fuck benefited from the US becoming an energy exporter?
The fuck are you listing this for? Who's the one who not only refused to jubilee student debt but turned payments back on during an inflationary spike?
What?? Again, who the fuck is the constituency for this? How is that going to change my landlord taking half my paycheck? And it's not like Ukraine even won the war.
???? ??? ???
Me.
So what you're saying is the democrats only appeal to people so comfortable in life that their biggest problem is not enough dead people
What a bizarre thing to say
You clutch your pearls but you can't deny it's true. All that war is to you is recreational reading. And if that's what earns your vote then you live a charmed life. Even if you are a bloodthirsty psychopath.
Ah yes, me hoping my ex's country and rising democracy Ukraine can fight off a Russian invasion force is "recreational reading." How silly of me
Democracy is when the result of a fair election is a coup that chases the president over the border and you ban opposition parties and you shell the regions that voted against you. Yeah, sure. Democracy is the thing that's rising over there. And that's why we support them. We've been sending them weapons for over half a decade because democracy. Just like everywhere else.
Lol that's certainly one way to describe Maidan, comrade.
Chronological
Was in the minority. You can't use them as an excuse for what the democrats did.
Biden chose to take a route with the debt that invited a challenge. He didn't want to discharge it. He's the senator from MBNA. The sanctity of debt is one of his foundational beliefs.
He is the president. The treasury works for him. He holds the debt. He can and didn't simply write it off.
This is the sentence in which you called me a 'fucking idiot' and I have to say the idea that a proxy war doesn't count as escalation is one of the smartest things I've heard from you.
Democrats are the party of letting everyone lose their home and have them be bought up by banks, who were bailed out when prices were low, who are now charging me half my income in rent.
Holy shit your reality is as fucked up as a qanoners. Genuinely impressive, the mental hurdles on display here.

I mean if $127 billion is nothing to you, could you spot me a hundred billion?
1.77 trillion and rising.
And not a penny of what he discharged was without a preexisting situation where the debt would have automatically been discharged anyway if the government was actually functional.
And he took credit for it. And people like you carry the message like a game of telephone believing he did something.
