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!

It's still bad that the most generous interpretation is the DNC is being fleeced by incompetent freelancers.
It also implies that the DNC has little interest in understanding why they lost. No mention of Biden's age, even if to say it had no effect. No mention of Gaza, even if to say it had no effect.
If they have a better post-mordem, that does explore these topics I'd love to see it.
It makes it seem like they weren't that serious about beating Trump if they're still willing to hire incompetent people that avoid tough analysis.
Hakeem Jeffries and Chuck Schumer are still the House and Senate leader for the dems. Jefferies is Pelosi's handpicked successor.
What part of the leadership do you believe has changed? What are their names?
Th voting members knew why they lost immediately, that's why they elected Marin instead of another neoliberal....
The chair is a dictator and can do whatever they want with zero accountability...
So when the chair changes, it's like a new president, they can set their "admin" however they want.
2 years ago they elected Ken Martin, who spent a decade running Minnesota and turned it from purple to one of the most progressive politicians of any state.
It's honestly not hard to look into him, but unless you understand the basics of the DNC (what I've said here is enough) it doesn't seem like a huge change.
But people have fought 30 years (arguably 50) trying to get us to where we are now.
It's not done, but billionaires want us to give up and check out already
