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.

- 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!

Remember when the angry mob was gonna hang Mike Pence? And then Pence's former boss pardoned them all?
Those people actually tried to overthrow the federal government with violence. And yet this guy won't think they should be hanged, because fascists do not ever speak in good faith or care about consistency or principles. That's why you can't argue away fascism.
Look. When you word it that way...
But they were going to hurt a lot of other people and steal the country. So net horrible
But don't forget, folks...it's all that "radical left" rhetoric that's really to blame for all the political violence. /s
GOP leaders silently agree
Reality is, the US legalized bribes as "donations" and "insider trading" this made both party controlled directly or indirectly by their financial interest. The GOP are happy, they don't have to do anything, everything will be blame on Trump, and their wealth will doable while watching people suffer. And if they got back in power they will make even more money.
Union and Worker party is they only way to make a difference.
You're neglecting the very real threat of Christian Fascism. Sure, almost all of them are criminally corrupt, but the most corrupt among them have a financial incentive to overthrow all the others and assume absolute control.
The criminally corrupt are necessary for a dictatorships implementation to succeed, if they don't possess the ability to stage an actual military coup.
Of course, it's been their weekend fun for a few centuries now.
Party unity over principles.
