Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. 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. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

Almost like there is a large, unmet demand for leftist politicians at the national level. Hmm, no, couldn't possibly be it.
I don't even know if it's that. I wonder how much of it is just "shit is clearly bad... Let's please just try something different and see if it helps."
We've been doing the exact same stuff for so long and everything gets worse. The current administration's solution is to just go backwards and try the old stuff that didn't work again and see if it will work now somehow.
It's kinda both from how I see things. When Bernie wasn't given a chance by the DNC in the primaries in 2016, the Bernie supporters flocked to vote Trump. The Sanders to Trump pipeline is real. Slavoj Zizek made a great point that people want someone outside of the neoliberal status quo, and Americans got that, but with Trump. Americans are kind of at the crossroads of what they really want.
Yeah, it seems like the left and right agree that shit needs to change, but the right has been convinced it’s the left’s fault instead of it being the mega-rich.
clinton supporters formed a literal PAC to get mccain elected because they hated the idea of a black president that much.
its beause bernie pretty much has the same loud mouth charisma as trump, bernie was more palatable, when that dint happen they went to next best things, these are "undecided republicans"
the current one, is trying to not release epstein files, plus they want democrats to cave so the republicans can have thier sound bytes on fox to blame the shutdown on them, knowing thier supporters wont research past the headlines they will believe it.

Historically they make noise but don't actually come out to vote though.
Republicans don't vote for democrats either, but the party keeps courting them anyway.
