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.

We are fighting back, making sure we have as free an election as we can have in November.
That hasn't always been the case. In 2016 and 2024, the Dem leadership did absolutely nothing about the obvious election interference that was happening directly in front their faces, as well as ignored the increasing treasonous rhetoric, the Epstein Files, corruption, treason, etc. They prioritized politeness over defending their country.
At least now the elected Dems are starting to match MAGA energy wherever possible. They are stating to ignore Dem leadership, and doing what we want. It is unlikely that Jeffries will survive as Speaker, and Schmuck is already dead in the water. He's only staying on to keep insider trading, and shill for Israel.
Violence is a legitimate option, but it is an inappropriate choice when we still have legitimate Constitutional checkpoints to make it through first. If those checkpoints fail due to MAGA interference, THEN violence becomes the appropriate option.
Or you could fight back NOW before fascism fully takes over and it might be too late
I just said that we ARE fighting back, just not with violence. The Dems are doing lots of things, some are succeeding (like keeping the message on corruption, the Epstein Files, and the AmerIsraeli War), some aren't (redistricting), but they are definitely pushing much harder than we've seen in the past.
Look at how many special elections around the country that have flipped from Red to Blue. Every one of those flips was a ferocious FIGHT.
The Dems are winning far more than they are losing, and that's all due to the increased level of resistance. You want VIOLENCE, but that would be seriously counterproductive at this stage.
MAGA believe in violence, because they are too stupid to figure out any other way. We are smarter than they are, by a long ways, and we can outsmart them for now, and hold the Violence Option for when all other options have run out.
