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!

No, it's unfair to leave grandma to die because she won't live to an arbitrary date in the future.
So lets not be satisfied with 2026 and continue to push for this change ASAP. Instead of "thank you" say "it's a good start".
You could have written that as a top comment instead of whining, and then people would be agreeing with you instead of finding you irritating and dismissing your words.
It isn't my fault that blue MAGA jumped to conclusions. 🙄
It is, really, you are a poor communicator here and many people recognize you from aggressively bothsidesing in other discussions so you're starting with a disadvantage. Pretending things like "blue MAGA" exist isn't helping your case.
Blue MAGA are the cultists that attack anyone who criticizes Democrats for any reason, even when Democrats do genocide and militarize the border and refuse to reform the Supreme Court.
They're down voting because I'm making them mad by pointing these things out. I'm not going to coddle them. I'll just take my down votes - it's not like internet points matter lol
Ah, yes, refuse to reform. Of course if they just tell Manchin to appoint more justices he will, so there's nothing in their way.
What's the term for a bothsidesing MAGA that attacks everything done by any Democrat for any reason? Like medical prices going down. "NOT FAST ENOUGH GRR!"
You know, the sort of MAGA who whines about SCOTUS and war and everything else. While at the same time refusing to do anything with their ballot but throw it in the garbage while encouraging others to similarly waste theirs as well.
The people who will die because this is too slow shouldn't be forgotten or dismissed.
Keep screeching about how nothing is ever good enough. Just be absolutely furious at the Dems, call everyone "blue MAGA" if they think an improvement to the situation is positive or if they think allowing things to get worse is negative. People will continue dismissing you as a troll. Not sure what you get out of it other than making yourself angry.
I'm furious that everyone will settle for the smallest possible improvement and then go back to brunch.
You should never be satisfied. Again, it's a good start.
Who says anyone is satisfied?
Thats your assumption.
Chanting "thank you" implies it when no one is demanding more.
But it's all y'all too!
None of you will ever ask anything of your elected representatives, you just vote for them and hope really hard. You're extremely loyal.
You're spare parts, bud.
