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 just leave their poor billionaire donors out in the cold?!
Haven't you thought of the economy!
Yeah they won't.
What have Democrats done so far since losing the elections? Take away some bitching and moaning against trump, take away the infighting and what's left? AOC seems to be doing something more at least but even that is chump change to the tidal wave of stupidity rolling over the US. Nobody is stopping it, nobody is doing anything.
refuse to help the GOP pass budget bills
It just seems that’s what they want, innit? This way, republicans get to blame democrats for it.
You can’t really “work with” someone if all they want is to burn it to the ground.
Last time everyone blamed the GOP for the budget not getting passed.
Going to repost my comment from another crosspost of this:
They have already pledged to do similar?
First, I have made clear to House Republican leadership that any effort to steal taxpayer money from the American people, end Medicaid as we know it or defund programs important to everyday Americans, as contemplated by the illegal White House Office of Management and Budget order, must be choked off in the upcoming government funding bill, if not sooner.
And note that the dems only have power on this if republicans fight each other like last time. Reconciliation means it only requires a strict majority on spending bills (but can only be used a couple of times per year)
If this movement becomes a thing, its about time.
It seems like it's been over 8 years of this aim high swing low BS where only the democrats are willing to settle for less where the republicans block anything that remotely hurts them, and if they are finally coming to terms that taking the moral high ground doesn't work when a side isn't willing to cooperate then good for them. I had lost faith that they actually had the moral compass to allow for it.
