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!

Democrats need to purge ranks of MAGA-lite members like Cory, Chuck, Nancy, and…well…all of’em except Jasmine, AOC, Ro, and Bernie.
At this point, too many are ready to burn it all down simply because they see the lies and complicity.
You don’t win people over by being the lesser of two evils.
What was protecting them was a biased DNC who were fine losing a seat to a Republican to shut up a progressive.
We have an unbiased DNC now.
Which is all we need, the DNC doesn't need to worry about kicking out incumbents the voters hate. We just need to let voters pick what they want in primaries.
And now that it's going to be competitive again, we'll see a lot more retire anyways.
Can you picture Pelosi actually having to do debates and campaigning against a 40 year old progressive with actual authentic grass roots support?
You have a lot more faith in the DNC than I feel is warranted.
It's funny: before the change in DNC leadership, @givesomefucks@lemmy.world stood out for how harshly critical he was of the Democrats, to the point that he often got downvoted because people thought he was some kind of concern troll. Then, of course, all his dire predictions came true.
It's almost as if he's paying close attention and understands the DNC very well.
I won’t believe it until I see it for at least three election cycles.
And I won’t be holding my breath.
I’ve been disappointed every single time and have zero hope.
Those people are democrats in name only, I call them DINOS.
I once saw AOC use her right hand so she’s not left enough either.
