Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. 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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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!

Sanders is right. He should have been fucken President

We should just start to call him President Sanders.

With actually fair and democratic elections (non of this gerrymandering and representatives shit) he would have won. Even Trump fanatics like him.

Just skip the legal bureaucracy which is set aflame without regard right now anyway and hand the man a crown.

It's just more proof to add to the pile that conservatives will stick their fingers in their ears and scream LA LA LA I CAN'T HEAR YOU over.

I love you Bernie, and I voted for you every time, but your words need to inspire action, we know what the problem is already.

we know what the problem is already.

Only part of the country does. If everyone knew what the problem was, we wouldn't be where we are. Additionally, some people need this type of perspective because they can't draw that conclusion on their own.

We need Bernie to spit it out in words they can understand.

Huge numbers of people who benefit directly from the work of the NLRB vote for people who openly want to gut it. The reason every authoritarian regime seeks to control the media is simple - it works. Americans created an information environment where Fox News spewed their filth and lies day in and day out for decades. This was the inevitable conclusion to that. Those in this bubble who supported this see everything that's happening as the smashing for the deep state, and a federal government that "didn't do anything for anyone anyways". They're wrong and they'll be hurt, but so will everyone else.
