- 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 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!

I’ll never vote for a democrat again it Newsom gets the nomination, for any office, of any power. There needs to be consequences for a party that’s supposed to be an opposition party. And before you loser “vote blue no matter who” people run your jaws: I will never vote for a republican either and never have. Stand for something for once in your miserable lives instead of proving that you would support trump/vance if their party affiliation was Democrat.
In general, most voters have no backbone to vote their conscience. They're only willing to vote for who other people have told them is electable.
Like Eugene Debs said, “I'd rather vote for something I want and not get it than vote for something I don't want, and get it.”
Yes, JD Vance will be better.
You’d vote for him if he was a democrat. You stand for NOTHING.
Show me where Newsom endorsed something like Unhumans.
It's one thing not to be all that wild about Newsom's rather middling take on trans (specifically, transwomen in women's sports, IIRC), but it's quite another to act like there is no difference here.
People aren’t just randomly Democrats or Republicans - each group’s “fleet” is headed toward different general destinations. Which is why “i recognize significant differences between parties and the moral alignment of each” is a reasonable thing to stand for, and which can lead your choice.
Also, like you know me, what a laugh.
