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!

It's surprising to me how often high profile Democrats, who really should know better, make racially stereotyped comments like this.
Not surprising at all if you're familiar with the state. I've got family from NYC who are very staunch Democrats and extremely racist.
Remember that Donny from Queens was a staunch Democrat all through the 80s and 90s.
Donnie was only a "staunch" Democrat because he was playing to the local crowd. Was he ever a true Democrat? Did he ever care about any of the traditional issues? No chance.
Like Bloomberg they're just Dem to fit in and not be ostracized. All those fucks are conservative Republicans in reality.
Even then a fucking moron who couldn’t rub two sentences together could get it. It’s been con ever since.
He was playing to a national crowd.
And Bloomberg is another great example (abet in the other direction). He was hosting Bush 43 at the Republican National Convention in 2004 and now he's a Dem mega donor.
They're all Business Conservative. And they've all got their investments in the various parties like casino magnets in Vegas working the crowds on the Strip.
Different pastiche, but its all the same bullshit games and prizes once you get through the door.
It shouldn't be since disconnected rich twats abound, you're simply choosing your favorite flavor to support politically.
…or, in many cases, the least distasteful flavor.
Why should they know better?
She, and Chuck Schummer, will always have more in common with Mitch McConnell and Donald Trump, then with any working class voter, or rank and file Democrat.
They're two sides of the same coin, serving the same master.
That "GOP" and these democrats are not the same.
That's not what I said.
I know you didn't.
Do yourself a favor and don't look at past comments about race made by Hillary Clinton or Joe Biden.
Is it surprising when they are racist? Yes, I called her a racist.
