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 US politics and contain quality and original content. Social Media adjacent hosts like Substack are allowed, but ONLY if they tie back to a company/subsidiary. No personal or friend group blogs and no self-promotion. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and re-hosted 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 other users of being bots or paid actors.
  3. No memes, trolling, misinformation, or low-effort posts/comments (including reposts). If you see posts like this that anger you, do not engage. Report, block, and live a happier life than they do. Any slap-fight is subject to comment removals. Fights full of rule violations will result in temporary bans to cool off.
  4. No manipulating votes via bots or alt accounts; this will result in permanent bans. 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 an account ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be permanently banned.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules and use critical thinking when reading, posting, and commenting. Users that repeatedly have 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. The reason(s) behind moderator action(s) are publicly available through the Modlog.

That's all the rules!

Democrats in Congress have assiduously avoided talk of a third impeachment of President Trump, concerned that it would distract from their midterm campaign message. That tide seems to have turned.

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.

[–] ClassStruggle@lemmy.ml 1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

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.

[–] Blumpkinhead@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago

Ok. What is your suggestion?

[–] Ryanmiller70@lemmy.zip 0 points 5 months ago

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.
