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.

- 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!"

After the 2008 financial crisis much of the world was left in economic turmoil and what Obama did worked. I'm sorry if that hurts your feelies.
Fun fact, the Republicans Filibustered the version of the bill that passed, but the 58 DNC convinced Bernie Sanders and the other Independent holdout to pass it via supermajority. If Republicans had their way there would never have been any Medicaid expansion, tens of millions of people would have suffered without healthcare to this very day.
Conservative =/= Republican. Some of the perceptions in the US are skewed so far to the right that you don't even realise how conservative the Democratic Party is. In a lot of other countries in the world, there are like 3-4 major parties left of where Obama stood, but only like 1, maybe 2, right of him.
Hell Bernie Sanders is to the right to most European countries. They just don't know what conservative means.
jfc first he was howling about Obama but now they're defending Republicans. Do you have any idea where you are right now, son?
Bro, please actually read what the comment you're replying to are actually saying. You're just embarrassing yourself at this point.
Always do but never stops them
I recognize your username, I don't think I've ever had any pleasant interactions with you and now here you are telling me to listen to an appeal for the 21st century nazi party.
What part of the comment you're complaining about is saying good things about Republicans?
Or did you stop after seeing they put it in?
Intentional or not this paragraph is a defence of the Republican party, ans I fully believe it is intentional. The only way conservatives like this can feel any sense of justification is to bring their enemies down to their level.
No this is showing how we don't have a left party in the usa while people are worried Mamdani will end up like Obama did after the DNC gets more involved.
Being critical of how the dems are failing the country is vital, not something that makes one instantly a conservative.
Complete ignorance of policy to say the DNC aren't left and the GOP aren't hardcore right.
They are left in the sense they are to the left of the GOP, and where did you get anyone saying the GOP isn't hardcore right???
They're left in the sense that they expand medical coverage, tax the rich, regulate industries, and promote solutions to climate change.
Cool, still on the right of rest of the world on all those things. See they use of Romenycare instead of going for Medicare for all or universal healthcare
You need to try and read first before replying, then maybe I'd have better things to say about you. You can't expect me to praise you for either being thickheaded enough to not get what people are actually saying or for misrepresenting what people are saying because you don't have an actual argument, can you?
This here is why you never see me say good things about you. You literally can't argue in good faith and always rely on calling the other guy a label that doesn't fit what they actually say so that you can claim the moral high ground.
You're still doing it.
