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!

From the article: "is increasingly popular with younger voters sick of the traditional remedies for America’s ills. "
What "traditional remedies"????
I'm 70 and neither party has done shit to help people since FDR.
There were the two blips of obama care and medicare prescription drug. Neither works particularly well, and both were crippled by the insurance and drug industries.
Pretty obvious which side FT is on. As if we didn't already know.
Did you realize that FDR was a socialist right? All of the popular policies that he instituted were socialist policies.
So?
If it works it's good, if it doesn't it's bad.
Neither capitalism or socialism is inherently good or bad. They are just systems. Stop treating them like they are religions.
People and there actions make them good or bad systems.
It’s time to make the Democratic Party the party of FDR again
I agree. Anything is better than the current shit show.
The healthcare market exchange system that ObamaCare comes from and Project 2025 both have the Heritage Foundation in common.
The original "force people to buy private health insurance" came from the Heritage Foundation.
That idea moved into two Republican-sponsored bills in 1993, and then into Mitt Romney's 2006 Massachusetts health law.
It was only when a democrat (obama) suggested it that they started objecting.
