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!

Newsom can top all the Democrats he wants, i am still not going to support him.
Phrasing!
His ability to match Trumpian trolling style needs to be picked up by someone new, or else we should really get behind this guy at least he is not literally a child raping Russian asset sent to destroy America JFC it's hard to be picky here
Great, so you are another fascist enabler. You dont need to like his policies but if he is the person to stop the fascist and you dont support him or even vote for him you are on the side of the fascists.
That's just it: his policies are how he governs. Awful Neoliberal policies devastating working people to the point that most can barely afford to live is (along with billionaire-owned yellow media) how things got bad enough for a resurgence of fascism.
That being said, the Neoliberal style of campaigning where the vast majority of their messaging is aimed at converting the increasingly tiny sliver of a demographic that have voted GOP and would ever in a million years vote Dem while ignoring the leftmost two thirds of their own base is a losing strategy that lost to the most unqualified and repulsive presidential candidate in living memory if not ever. TWICE.
There's no point engaging with this type of idiot.
They're just disagreeable generally and completely incapable of understanding compromise.
I honestly can’t believe they haven’t learned the consequences of doing nothing when the bare minimum would have saved so many people.
I am left to believe that trump’s bot campaign is back in full force because frankly, I cannot believe someone can be this willfully ignorant.
