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!

You.... Really love grandatanding, huh?
I ask you to re-research the subject and you go into this putin-esqe historical diatribe about power in the United States. Seek help brother.
The president has never had much power, that's kinda the whole point of our system of government you fucking rube. I'll save you some trouble, the courts blocked him at every turn. Not a fan of the inaction of the Democrats but call a spade a spade, my guy - they tried.
Whats “Grandatanding”?
Biden could have attempted using executive order to legislate student loan debt relief but he didn't even make an attempt
You have nothing to say about the fact that there is no left party in the US political landscape only a far right and a center right pretending to be left you only want to make excuses for the gerontocracy and pretend that they are making any progress when they are making absolutely no meaningful progress whatsoever.
You’re just another propagandized fool who believes what billionaire news outlets, all owned by the same financial interests as the extreme far right news outlets, tell you to believe
I have nothing to say about those other things because I'm not an insufferable twat that is CONSTANTLY driving the conversation to that subject (your comment history dude, wtf?)
And so let me get this straight, because I don't address the extra unrelated bullshit YOU brought up, you're not willing to even entertain another side? Or better yet, you certainly didn't re-research the subject.
Your moronic idea with executive orders proves you know so little about this subject and also concerns me I've been wasting my time speaking to a teenager.
You just love logical fallacies, they permiate your comments. Strawman, red herrings, no true Scotsman, and false dichotomies. C'mon dude, if you're going to be insufferable, at least be a good debater.
