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!

Already shot down by the party? Good god people, get out and vote.
People have lost faith in voting in epic proportions. That needs fixed. I wonder if they have a plan for that.
Their plan for that is to repeat all of the failed policies that they've tried again and again and again
Their plan is to run Harris again or boy Harris (aka Newsome).
Oh yeah, Ryan, we're SO cooked.
Democrats in name only, except it seems like the rule rather than the exception anymore.
It's so deeply disappointing.
Vote for what, the same people that help get us to where we are right now?
Vote in the primaries, for starters.
That wasn't my question. My question was vote for what, the same people that helped get us to where we are right now?
Democrats have been proving for a few decades now they're completely incompetent. Fascism did not rise in a vacuum, it had help, and they were called Democrats.
So vote in the primaries to get rid of the types of Democrats that contributed to the problem. Vote for progressives that won't take money from AIPAC.
Strange how people dont want to do anything, then complain loudly about when everything hits the fan.
No, as a party they can not be trusted. Those that refuse to fall in line with party politics will be primaried by the DNC.
Ok. What is your suggestion?
The only ones in my state that have a proven track record of not taking money from AIPAC (Cori Bush and Hartzell Gray) I can't vote for. Looking at all the other candidates that I can vote for, none of them have made any statements against Israel or AIPAC. While they may have ok ideas on getting universal healthcare and ridding us of Citizens United, they also never speak on overturning the ranked choice voting ban or working to destroy the electoral college.
