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!

Student loan debt cancellation efforts lead to the SAVE Plan rollout which reduced many american's payments to $0 monthly.

Biden did permit drilling to meet US demands, but he also did everything in his power to reduce demands.

If you wanted better and more extreme actions then you would need Democrats to have the power to make constitutional amendments, bypass filibusters, and remove corrupt positions, which means 60 Senate Votes. Example: Citizens United SCOTUS decision means either removing SCOTUS judges or passing a constitutional amendment, 60 votes.

We have NEVER given dems true power since 1979, at which point they were a very different party than they are now.

Biden Pushed for half of all new vehicles to be EV by 2030

Biden admin invested billions into the construction of 37 stations with 226 EV charging ports across the USA

Biden began steps to replace the entire federal vehicle fleet of 645,000 vehicles with electric

But sure believe your magical fantasy where Joseph Biden presses a mysterious button which changes all of the prices on the market to whatever number he puts into the computer that controls all of America.

When you put 100% and 50% tariffs they really do change the price of stuff

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago

Yeah but the Tariffs were only on the Chinese, honestly the already cheap and low value EVs, so the overall market wouldn't fluctuate much.

I really do believe you're getting what you pay for when you invest in western EV markets instead of Hostile Foreign Dictatorship products.
