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!

And it’s funny how the answer seems to be turning to the right wing. Concept that makes absolutely no sense
Pathogens and Politics: Further Evidence That Parasite Prevalence Predicts Authoritarianism.
Now who says the parasites have to be biological?
It doesn't work on logic. It works on identity and feelings. Mostly anger.
Becuase the so called "Left" Democrats aren't offering any real alternatives of lasting change. Only the Right are doing that
But the rights offer is practically openly 'We want to make everything worse for everybody' shouted with extreme enthusiasm for some reason.
No, they're saying that things will get better if we get all our anger out on these specific people.
Of course it won't fix anything, but people are gullible
Wouldn't revolution be considered a "political fix"?
Maybe figure out a new American dream, like punching Nazis, or eating the rich
There is no political fix.
The only solution is violence.
Millennials have been saying this since 2008, and they're only seriously considering it now??
I'd say I'm surprised, but after almost two decades of being told that my concerns over housing prices, student debt, poor wages, unaffordable healthcare, etc aren't important right now because Dems need moderate Republicans to vote for them, I'm really not.
Can we have some [American Dream]?
We have some at home.
At home: [American Nightmare]
We're really living in a neo-liberal's wet dream.
This is all according to plan for the people making 6 figures and have homes that cost at least $400,000.
Trump isn't raising their taxes.

Anyone who thinks millionaires are not part of the problem is a fucking idiot.
Gen X:
Actual Gen X:
GenX here... No. Just fucking no. Not in the fucking slightest.

True
Feels that way for some of us older voters, too.
