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!

The only thing they can actually action is cruelty
I hope he wins handily. Maybe at least one small part of the party could realize that the people are sick of the same old policies and even more tired of seeing the same names on the ballot. Someone would primary the governor.
Imagine wanting to lose so badly, that you're out there, actively sabotaging one of the most popular candidates in recent history.
I didn't see any of that energy for stopping Trump from the democrats. They'd rather have fascism over free buses.
Because the fascist does not endanger their cushy seats. If Trump wins, they will win next election after people are sick of Trump.
If they let people like Mamdani replace them in their own party, they are never getting elected again.
It's all so rigged. We have such little power against big money. The Dems work for the billionaires too. As soon as someone steps in who threatens the wealthy and would actually tax them, this shit happens. It was obvious with Bernie in 2016. It's obvious now.
It's a big club and we ain't in it.
Dems are not our friends although they are objectively better than Republicans obviously.
Arm up friends. It's well past time to refresh the roots of the tree of liberty with the blood of tyrants.
"I'm really not here to represent any candidate," Paterson said.
"I'm just here to villify the one who actually won the fucking primary because fuck democracy, y'all. We own your asses, we call the shots, and like hell are we gonna let you people change that!"
Democrats openly attacking Mamdani.
"Vote blue no matter who" was blatant hypocrisy, how fucking surprising.
So much god-damned attention on a fucking mayoral race. Sure, it's NYC, but he's still just the mayor. Like they could have just ignored him and sapped the energy from his win, and then primaried him when his term was up.
It's just further evidence that the Democratic leadership is entirely inept.
It's what he plans to do that they simply cannot allow to exist in any form. If things like state run grocery stores are successful people are going to start to wonder if other democratic socialist policies could work as well.
We can't have that here in America, we need a tiny group of capitalists to own everything and charge you extra so they can enjoy being parasites.
It’s only the financial center of the world.
Not for long with how Trump is fucking up trade with the rest of world and dollars and bonds aren't looking to hot.
Cant have an honest politician making them look bad lol
I didn't see that one coming.
Neither did he
