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!

I'm skeptical DNC. Unless they start fighting dirty and campaigning like the GoP, instead of campaigning like its 1950 and sucking up to billionares too, they are going to keep losing elections.
People see what's filtered through their feeds now, and that chaos isn't going to register much with voters. Just like it (mostly) didn't in the last few elections.
Unless we get a last minute pro-corpo candidate, the worst that's really possible is Martin O'Malley, who definitely isn't my first choice but he barely has any ties to the last rements of the neoliberal old guard. I'm fairly confident he'd still make all the right calls tho
The other three serious candidate would all be great, although Ben Wilker is my ideal.
They're all rage addicted....
This won't stay a fight between Musk and trump, or even MAGA/Corpo Politicians.
Crypto bros on Twitter and red hats in Alabama will be actively going after each other the entire time, it probably already is. They don't have to be shown the chaos, they'll be part of it.
That’s weird. Isnt one of the criticisms that they wasted this last election calling people weird and not giving much on their platform? Seems like a very Republican campaign, full of name calling and “concepts of ideas”
