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!

Trump wasn't the president in June of 2022. That's when Roe V Wade was reversed. This happened under Biden's watch. Democrats have failed time and time again to do something to enshrine abortion rights when they've had the opportunity. Why would I believe that they are actually going to do something this time around?
Here's how the future's going to go if Biden gets elected. They'll spend the next 4 years not protecting abortion rights, and then a republican's going to get elected in 2028, and completely destroy abortion rights federally. Democrats will continue to con you into voting for them by faking a promise to bring back abortion rights.
Shit's going to get far fucking worse before it's going to get better.
The President didn't repeal Roe v Wade. The Trump Supreme Court did that.
As long as morons help Republicans by not voting Democrat, they're going to continue turning this country into North Korea.
You don’t get it. EVERYTHING you say is the same talking points from democrats for the past 40 years, at least.
They need to reinsert their back bone and fight for things their voters care about.
It’s not my fault that Biden is a center right corporate politician who needs to be in a fucking assisted living center. And frankly, I don’t really care if you think that it is.
If i am not offered a candidate who is left of center. See you in hell I guess.
So if there's no candidate left of center, you rather vote full right or not vote at all? Just curious not trying to start anything
I think he just needed to vent, assuming he isn't saying "Don't vote for Joe, Democrats don't do shit" sincerely. He has a point when he says they need to insert a god damn spine. But this countries politics is fucked, and there's not any systematic change that's going to be happening by the time the election rolls around. So we get what we get.
Centrists assume all dissatisfaction is disloyalty. This is because they are actually represented by the party that could have codified roe but didn't feel like it.
Centerists continue to fuck us in the primaries and then are gobsmacked when we suggest we won't show up in the general.
