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!

It's sad that the best response to Trump's bizarre accusation of "she wants to give everyone health care" would be "fuck yeah I do!" but she for some reason thinks it will scare off swing voters and leans into the classic Dem instinct of tucking to the center.
I'm not a huge fan of Pete, but at least he's smart enough to have learned that lesson from Bernie.
He goes on Faux all the time these days and when they call him a communist, he explains what the policy actually means.
The vast majority of our country want healthcare improved. And I stead of capitalizing on it, were letting trump be the only one who talks about fixing it. Knowing that half the voters are dumb enough to believe him
I don't want to link the same clip over and over but Bernie getting the whole Fox News Town Hall crowd to agree with him should have been the eye opener for the whole fucking party, not just mayor Pete.
There’$ a very good rea$on that that clip i$ completely buried by corporate media.
I’ll let you gue$$ what that rea$on i$.
I've never seen this - but I'd love to!
The whole thing is probably out there somewhere but this is the classic clip.
Thank you, ty ty!
Because everyone believes the lie that socialized healthcare would be terrible because the corporate media is complicit in spreading it since forever. And they always will be, since the same people who owned the corporate media are also heavily invested in corporate healthcare.
At least Harris is still kinda trending in the right direction, even if moving in smaller steps, https://thehill.com/policy/healthcare/4832005-kamala-harris-level-up-biden-admin-health-care-programs/
Compared with the other side that wants to drop protections for preexisting conditions.
