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!

MODERATORS
"We've done nothing, and we're all out of ideas!"
Guys no calm down you gotta give them a break. They got really tired from doing nothing and had to take a nap before conceding the entire democratic system. They’re doing their best. Interpretation of that last bit left as an exercise to the reader.
The Democratic party is dead. Hopefully progressives will become the new Democratic party. Or even more hopefully we will enact ranked-choice voting nation-wide.
We'll get ranked choice in America at the end of a gun or nothing, like every other meaningful reform.
"Schumer has announced that they have heard their donors' concerns and will be shifting further right."
Maybe dem voters want something that is not Republicans. Maybe Dems could, you know, not be Republicans, if they want votes at least.
Maybe bragging about an endorsement by the embodiment of absolute evil, the Lord of the nine hells, the architect of imperialist nightmares beyond human comprehension Dick Cheney and his equally evil daughter or whatever the fuck happened that caused Liz Cheney's entering of this plane of existence, was a bad idea.
Nah it's the citizens who are wrong.
They have very successfully cast AOC and Bernie as radical "crazy" leftists, and in doing so have pushed themselves further right to build a divide between democrats and whatever name of the week they give those two. When AOC was first elected, I honestly thought she was the future of the party. Now we're here and she's not even really considered part of it, just an outsider
Dems keep trying to move right in the futile attempt to capture red votes. They don't understand that the moderate right has more in common with the far left than the moderate left.
Progressive party time
I have called and yelled at Schumers answering machine for two straight business days, and I’m looking to establish a streak
It's like not standing for anything and sacrificing your party's morals in the name of "compromise" isn't a solid strategy
