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 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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!

DNC leadership still hasn’t learned anything from the last several elections. They still want to push voters towards their “chosen” and favored candidates. Too bad the voters want something other than corporate center right establishment shills.

I think it's always been this way. I remember Chomsky talking about polling on issues.
It seems like the only thing different now is that corporate media outlets are not the only source of information. They haven't been the only since the 90s. But somewhere along the way, we hit a tipping point as far as a handful of broadcast and cable networks and a few newspapers no longer being able to entirely control the narrative...
Gross, how about someone that represents the people instead of corporate lapdogs?
Like I'll take a complete unknown over a known loser and clearly self-interested slimeball any day.
Stupid mfers. Liberal vs liberal battling to see who is more conservative
No! Not Harris! AOC! AOC! Newsome for vise!
I so don't give a fuck. My god like campaigning is not early enough as is. Work on the problems we have now! We still have three more years of this shit unless the midterms get rid of enough republicans.
LOL, I am looking at 2020 primary info on Wikipedia. Except for Warren and Bernie, there wasn't much of a bench.
I suspect Newsom would do much better than Kamala, who I suspect would probably do even worse in a primary than she did back in 2020, because she's just so milquetoast. But many in that stable were. Buttigieg? Klobuchar?
Jfc indeed.
But I do like that they are the "leaders" of the race right now because history shows for the Dems the early leader never gets close to the top in the end.
Newsom will have a good run, and just might be the next president. Im predicting. Maybe badly.
I think his insulin thing for CA is pretty great, and a lot of his detractors admitted it too.
And his transphobia thing?
Or hate for the homeless, or hate for workers rights
Wtf? Why would it be?
