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!

For fucks sake Nancy, retire and make room for new blood.
You're an albatross around the party's neck and actively fight against the party platform on things like stock regulations or holding the wealthy accountable in anyway.
Dems would be better off if everyone over 70 in the party got the fuck out of the way instead of desperately clinging to offic for personal power.
They'll keep rolling her out for campaigns like do with Bill Clinton. They view reaching high station in the party as being perpetually loved by the rank and file.
The one good thing the Republican party did was to stop pretending Bush II was popular. They ran away from this guy as soon as Obama was elected and pretended they never met the guy, so they could be a completely new party that couldn't be held accountable for past 'mistakes' (even though their policies never actually changed).
The Democrats on the other hand are still rolling out Clinton on the regular, even though he's responsible for a lot of issues we're seeing now, and was good friends with Epstein and Trump.
I was listening to CNN on the commute home tonight and one of the pundits said "The Democratic party needs to shake things up with some younger leadership... There's a lot of great people in their 50s and 60s in the party that could step up!"
Clown party. They are not serious. Ugh.
50s and 60s are OK ages for politicians. That age brings wisdom and experience. OTOH, they can't hang in long. Maybe 40s is a solid age range to start? (In the power roles, not lower down.)
The lady must have dirt tattooed on her body at this point. She's around because she's a backroom weapon.
