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!

I wish they'd wake up and stop pushing this guy. They need to be pushing a Bernie style left of center. Otherwise it's going to swing so far left there's going to be carpenters working to build mideval structures outside their homes.
Actual Bernie would have been dope.
Trump: Rants for an hour over fucking windmills and how he can't flush his KFC shits.
Bernie: Walks to the podium, shouts out some reasonable policy, then shuffles off.
One of those people need to actually run.
We have a right wing party and an ultra far right wing party, neither of them will ever allow a left wing progressive into power.
Yeah, this unfortunately. Truth nuke
We got close to having Bernie twice.
If just a few scumbags had less influence, he would've won.
You realize if Bernie had won he'd have been impeached before he took office, right? Maybe day 1 if they were feeling generous. He probably should've sold his soundbites better but isn't that always the folly of the Dems?
Impeached? no.
Taken on a Dallas car ride? Probably within a month.
I could see that. The government is set up so that no one person has the ability to do anything too radical unless everyone goes along with them.
Impeached maybe, but I doubt he'd have been convicted and removed.
Pushing this guy is how they stay in power. They don't give a fuck if they win or lose. Democratic consultants had their best year in 2024 pushing two right wing slop candidates.
