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!

Dem establishment is so afraid and out of touch they think this will move the needle, maybe it will maybe it won’t, for better or for worse, all I know if further alienates me and probably other newyawkers that want to vote dem but absolutely hate every candidate that is propped up by money.
Have you voted yet in the primary (if eligible)?
For anyone reading this who's a registered Democrat and lives in NYC it's super import you vote in the primary by June 24. Urge as many like-minded friends and family to vote and offer them a ride or go on the bus with them if they need help with transportation. Even search things like NYC or New York City on social media and if you think they are like-minded urge them to vote.
Rank these names from #1 (best) to #5 (tolerable): Zohran Mamdani, Brad Lander, Adrienne Adams, Michael Blake, Zellnor Myrie
I'd recommend Zohran #1 and Brad #2. Zohran has a stellar ability to motivate volunteers. You really need those door knockers, they will help tip the scale in the general election. The general election is going to be difficult because Adams is running as an independent. If Cuomo wins, he and Adams will split the vote and hand the election to the Republican Curtis Sliwa. Zohran is fresh and gives voters someone to get excited about. He can crush the spoiler effect.
Sliwa? Really? The racist gang leader?
The kakistocracy never ends.
Dem establishment knows exactly what it's doing, because alienating people like you is exactly their goal.
