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!

i was in your shoes back in the 90's when clinton said he was gay positive and wanted to end the violence in palestine; so we voted for him. instead we got dont ask, don't tell (aka gay military ban); defense of marriage act (aka anti-gay marriage law); and he forced arafat to resign from control of the plo.
the democrats have been doing this for atleast 50 years and will continue to do this and they rely on people who aren't paying attention or are too young to have the memory of them ditching vulnerable communities at the first instance it became politically costly.
biden himself used to be a very proud anti-gay bigot when he ran for president back in the 80's and people back then though that he was too much of a wacko conservative because of it; but young democrats called him the most pro-gay president we've ever had back during the 2020 campaign (as they said of clinton in 2016). so you can expect the next democratic candidate to be treated the same way during the next election.
Fuck, that's depressing.
only if you refuse to recognize the game for what it is: 2 parties both controlled by oligarchy.
the democrats will do better if they were by themselves; but they'll always acquiesce to the republicans "for the greater good"
