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!

This ignores the situation around the presidency. Nixon had pressure to get the environmental and social progressive actions done. I mean its like he ended the viet nam war after escalating it. Nixon is really the start of the whole slide of the republican party. One reason the right has so much power now compared to nixons days at this point is the left has little value support wise in the two party system. The ultra right will vote republican even if the republican does not do things right enough. The democrats pretty much get their suport from centerists and left of center who realize having more left is better than having more right. So most democrats just have to be left of the republicans. We have somewhat of a chance now as we have some democrats who are much more progessively left but if they don't get support that will be the end of that. I have decided to vote for kelly myself in the primary. It may mean krishna will win as the front runner but while I prefere kelly he is about typical to what our senators have been which is amazing for the typical us senator but still disapoints me.
When "center" means "far right." 🤮
not really. center mean both left and right of center along with moderate left as moderate right to ultra right is 100% always vote republican. Thats the extent of americans that effect elections.
You are either obtuse or trolling. Is prefer trolling to this level of willfully obtuse.
