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!

People were afraid of the Manson Family too. Having assassins on your side doesn't make you the majority. As it turns out, there were enough people OK with Trumpism to re-elect him.
The "liberal media" denies it at nearly every turn, but Americans do and have polled progressive on the issues for decade upon decade. But their narrative is that Democrats should move further to the right to appease the supposed "conservative majority".
Maybe the progressives should vote consistently. It doesn't matter how the country leans if they do t vote. The right block is the only one who consistently votes so it is who the parties target.
Who are progressives supposed to vote for? The fascist ghouls who want to turn the US into a theocratic kingdom? Or the neoliberal ghouls that are pillaging society for everything is worth to cater to the fascists? The Democrats can only claim "this is the most important election of our lives!" so many times before people realize they have no intention of making anything better. Progressive voters have been systemically disenfranchised for the past 50 years and told to vote or else
maybe the “progressives” should field a “candidate” that can earn more than 0.8% of the “popular vote”.
