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!

This might not be the case after DSA interview on Fox News. See https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/5995289-romer-fox-news-interview-blowback/
Based af.
I think you meant biased. Of course, Fox News is biased but those are Romer's replies. It's good that people know the views of democratic socialists.
No, Megan is great and all of those positions are great.
Why would any non-Republican go on Fox News to begin with? Romer doesn’t exactly sound like the brightest bulb.
Because the people that would vote for DSA candidates think everything she said is based.
So she looks good to them, and Fox News gets to say "see, this is how unhinged the Democrats are".
If done well it can be an important form of outreach. I've seen good interviews of leftists on Fox but it requires a lot of skill. And I would never agree to this kind of rapid fire q&a where you can't give context to answers that sound a little wacky to normal voters.
I really don’t think anyone who watches Fox News at this point is “reachable”. It’s not even a real news channel, so odds are you’re just setting yourself up for failure. Plenty of better outlets to invest time and effort into.
I strongly disagree with this. Fox is one of the most watched news channels and not all of their viewers have the same political views.
She isn't bright. Look at her biography. I don't think she attended college.
What did she say that you disagree with?
I don't know much about her political views, but her Democratics opponents should ask whether she agrees with Romer.
