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!

An Aoc & Oliver ticket would go so hard but we know DNC would self sabotage that.
They about to make the same mistake. Again. We do not want AOC. She is not a strong candidate for many reasons.
While I think AOC would be better in the Senate for at least a term or two, it would take a REALLY good candidate for me to not vote for her in the primary (... if we have voting by then). She gives a shit, she cares, and she understands she can't run the entire government by herself. Although I am still not sure if this country could ever elect a woman to POTUS.
That said... after all the Platner shit (amongst other things), maybe it would benefit everyone if Sanders sat down and stopped talking. His endorsement just makes me wonder if AOC secretly has a fucking anima sola tattoo on her back or some insanity.
Bad idea. Sadly, Americans still care about optics. Americans want someone with a sense of authority and no-nonsense attitude which she doesn’t have. She won’t get voted for even by Democrat voters
