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!

What do you propose?
I'm hoping that the recent elections of Democratic Socialists help push the centrist Dems to get off their ass, stop relying solely on donor money, and actually govern for their constituents.
But we'll see.
Some, like Schiff and Raskin, embraced the new Democrat attitude during the Biden term, but maybe this new wave of Socialists will inspire the rest.
And those that don't get on board with the Progressives, like those Capitalist DINOs who were yapping earlier this week, will stand out, and we'll know who to ruthlessly primary in their re-elections.
Should they stop condemning the wrongdoings of the bad guys? Why are you out here clowning on people for doing what they’re supposed to be doing?
Because they're clowns. Beholden to their pocketbooks more than the American people.
And we are soundly rejecting them by electing so many Democratic Socialists. There will be more to come, too.
So your logic is - that because these people don’t have proper values, that them attacking The Bad Guys deserves your derision?
Wild, but ok whatever
Oh it's an "attack" to post a strongly worded letter now?
On second thought, that line was a little catty. Edited it out.
All you can do is deflect due to my word choice
Very telling
I mean, I already explained that I think we should vote out these people that don't have proper values and replace them with representatives that actually work for the people, but you didn't like my answer.
You attacked my word choice, then edited it out when you knew you realized you behaved in an extremely ugly way.
Hope you can find ways to still be proud of yourself.
I'm getting a lot of mileage out of this GIF lately…
Hell yeah
Cry harder, my goodness. It was a little catty, but I did edit it out almost immediately. It was not extremely ugly hahaha
