    I’m cynical and apathetic too, and think there’s corruption on both sides (but hardly “the same”). However, one has to look at who has “power” at any given time while things are trying to be accomplished. A democratic majority in one area may attempt to do the best of things but still fail because of opposition in other places, even from within. ACA is a perfect example, it could have been even better but for one person holding the crucial vote. Later Obama years were stalled by the Republican “Say No to Anything The Black Man Does” movement.

    Why should anyone give a fuck what two people living in Australia have to say about US politics?

      Sometimes outside perspectives are helpful. Not this time of course. But sometimes.

        Sure. I’ll consider opinions of folks that have credentials and qualifications. This is just some Aussie cunt that married an expatriate from the US. Hope this site doesn’t also get DDoSed to hell…

          Yep absolutely. Anyone is free to say what they want. But no one should have their comments given undue weight without credibility or experience in the subject.

    We’re not voting for them because they’re good, we’re voting for them because they aren’t the worst human on earth.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. 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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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!
