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 was disillusioned with Dems when Clinton wasn't held accountable 30 years ago...
This is literally the most optimistic I've ever been for the DNC as a political organization.
Except for a small slice in 07-08, this is the only time I've been optimistic in the DNC tho, to be fair. So it's a pretty low bar.
Don't watch any of Harris's interviews about her book if you want to maintain that optimism
Who cares about her?
She might win a Senate seat somewhere with a corrupt state party, but there's no fucking way she can win a fair primary, she couldn't even win a sham one.
And now that the DNC is prioritizing red/purple states in (literally) the largest redistribution of wealth from a national party to state parties, those corrupt state parties no longer have the DNC behind them.
All that money stolen from red/purple states was to get dem voters to vote for shitty neoliberals in solid blue states. They don't have that money to throw around in the next Dem primaries.
Like, seriously...
I'm not just painting a smile on my face cuz it feels good. There's a shit ton of reasons to be optimistic right now about the Dem party. But you'll never hear it from mainstream media.
It's like how it's the worst time to sell gold when you see advertisements for it.
The best time to support the DNC is when billionaire owned media isn't saying a new liberal is our own hope.
