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!

Bernie Sanders bent the knee to the same oligarchs in 2016.
Every day he fails to support the creation of a leftist party he continues to be complicit.
The fuck are you talking about? Bernie lost the primary by millions of votes.
The fuck are you talking about? Did you forget that nearly every centrist candidate dropped out by Super Tuesday effectively deciding the race at that point?
Oh no, how dare they, anyways Bernie lost because over 3 Million more people voted for somebody else.
Well, if you're all for conspiring by a small group of people to decide elections, then the current president is your type of guy
You think 3 million is a small group? You think they all met up on saturday to decide the outcome?
Since you're out of the loop https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2020-election/looking-obama-s-hidden-hand-candidate-coalescing-around-biden-n1147471
Oooh Wooow /s
What's your point
What's YOUR point? Why are you so opposed to people's votes deciding the outcomes? And don't lazily paste a fucking 12 paragraph article again because you've pretty much worn your credibility down to the nub with me.
LoL buddy as I said Obama/DNC conspired to limit the field of candidates and effectively decidedly the election. The votes didn't matter at that point. If you can't understand that, I can't help you.
What the hell does the length of an article matter? I pointed to a legitimate source supporting my point.
Buddy, you're a fucking idiot.
Okay so because your candidate lost via massive number of votes you think the opponent is magically cheating. Your "source" doesn't say what you claim it says. Thanks for stopping by to share that with us.
I was referring to the DNC and particularly Obama
You think Obama voted over 3 Million times?
As I said, the race was already decided after Super Tuesday. What's the point of coming out to vote if your favored candidate has no chance of winning?
Well I'm sorry that you're still upset that your candidate didn't win, that doesn't give you the right to defame the one who did.
And where did I do that?
