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!

The fucking primary hasn't happened yet....
His opponent suspended her campaign, he will make it to the general...
But Jesus Fucking Christ, we've been fighting since before Jimmy Carter to get a DNC that will leave downballot primaries alone and run fair presidential ones.
The current DNC won't say shit about any candidate till after they win a primary.
Which is something Jon Stewart of all people should understand is a good thing. And I feel like neither him or Graham was as harsh on the podcast as the article makes it out to be.
The current DNC won't say shit about any candidate till after they win a primary.
Just to be clear, that's not true.
Maine’s primary is the most unusual of the three — and may be causing the most intraparty heartburn — because it is the only one where Democratic leadership has itself picked a candidate. Schumer and the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, the party’s official arm for Senate races, are backing Mills.
Per the Boston Globe on January 17th 2026.
And of course after this interview Mills dropped out and,
Meanwhile, Schumer and Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee Chair Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, both of New York, said they would work with Platner to defeat Collins.
So the DNC and DSCC endorsed Mills before the primary. After Mills dropped out, they endorsed Platner. And while I'm glad they did, technically there is still another candidate and a write in candidate also running in the upcoming primary. It is not likely they'll win, but they absolutely are endorsing before the primary.
It's funny how Jon Stewart can say the same things as Return2Ozma and the .world mod team doesn't remove the posts about it, or say Stewart handed the election. While he has infinitely more sway and influence than someone on a niche internet forum.
I'm amazed this post has stayed up from the same mods who banned R2O and others for saying the same thing.
