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.

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.

She'd never win.
Not because she's a woman.
Not because she isn't white.
Not because she's more socialist than most.
She'll never win because every time she decides to not tank her entire political career and thus the entire movement behind her, the moronic delusions of leftists who think she can 1-woman revolution her ass to ending capitalism forever but chooses not to, overwhelms the public narrative.
Nobody hates the left winning more than the left, and you can see this every time AOC chooses to wisely and strategically navigate the political landscape instead of acting like a screaming banshee of a college trustfund psuedo-leftist trying to score some proletariat pussy.
If anything she won't win because she doesn't know how to act like the main character. She should be the spiritual leader of the Democratic party right now, and she easily could be by picking a fight with Schumer
When he passed the funding bill, he basically guaranteed the death of the party as it is. It's historically unpopular, everyone hates them and what they stand for - including their base
Solidarity means an end to your political career right now, people are very clear in what they want. If she had the sauce to be a leader, she wouldn't be waiting her turn... She'd already be leading
