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!

Nobody listens to me, is that why people like Platner are using progressive “antiwar” policies to appeal to leftists? Or is that socialism and reading books is stupid? lol, Graham’s most popular and most progressive policies are based off 100+ years of Marxist economic theory buddy, as Neo liberalized as it is.
Ever wonder where the “socialist” part of “Democratic Socialism” comes from?
We'll he did call himself a communist as early as 2021, long before he had any political ambitions. Which leads me to the conclusion that his beliefs are sincere.
And if the Epstein class is going to piss away all the money that they are putting towards trying to stop him, it leads me to believe that they believe he is sincere as well.
Yeah and Obama said he’d end the war. Liberals will believe anything. Also, if be willing to bet you would call real communism, meaning places like USSR, Yugoslavia, Vietnam, Venezuela, Burkina Faso, China and Cuba are bad because authoritarianism right? And we have to lend power to fascist neolibs with Nazi insignia tattoos because real leftism would challenge the billionaire class and the military industrial complex as a whole, and Capitalist politicians are beholden to the same companies and donors that the Epstein class is? Mind you, democrats, republicans AND Apolitical powerful people were involved with Epstein and pedophilia. Yes, democrats other than bill clinton.
All you are doing is trying to enforce credendialism. He is telling people to organize and unionize in their communities, speaking on class warfare openly in the US, which is crazy to think id live to see the day that happened, seeks to end the wars of choice the US has engaged in, end the genocide being conducted by the israelis, etc.
Authoritarianism IS bad. Saying otherwise just proves you are not actually for working class liberation, but just want to be the ones to replace the Epstein class.
Your attempts to pin the current failings of the system on him are meaningless, he has not ever been close to power. That's the whole point of class solidarity, bud, trying to nitpick about his "working class creds" is just doing the Epstein class's work for them.
