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

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!

Jesus Christ, you'll twist yourself in knots to make everything the Democrats' fault.
What does this even mean dude? You want them to all just get arrested? Like, actually, what the fuck does this mean?
The hell are you talking about? ICE is turning into the gestapo and that dude wants to blame Democrats for it.
You'll twist yourself into knots to forgive any behavior as long as it's your team doing it.
Who’s your team?
Cringe liberal cyber-stalker.
All you're doing is telling on yourself. You're obsessed with teams. You hold no real values. You don't believe in anything. Politics is just a sports game to you. And yes, I care about actually making meaningful improvement in people's lives. If the DNC has the Democratic party locked down on permanent regressive mode, then progressives should seek all other options. If that means running third party, so be it. If that means trying to coopt and take over the Republican party, so be it. I care about outcomes. You care about sports teams.
From the guy trash talking liberals, specifically, by generalizing.
You're not very good at reaching them. Your opinions are infantile. You act like the world is black and white. Nuance is lost on you.
You’re a troll who shit on Harris thinking trump would be delightful payback. Well, here you go. Oh and look you’re interested in the republiQans. I hope you’re really high.
I never suggested Trump winning would be a good thing, or payback for anyone. And in my hypothetical, I was suggesting progressives might have a better time winning in a Republican primary than a Democratic one.
What you're saying is that you're so myopically blinded by partisanship, that if someone like Bernie somehow won the Republican nomination, you would still vote for the Democrat out of team loyalty. Again, this is all just sports to you. You don't believe in anything except the blue team winning.
The blue team winning would have been a goddamned paradise compared to the fascist armageddon you can’t be arsed to help prevent, but sure. Those “progressives” have the winning argument. We’ve “progressed” all the way to WWIII and our own gestapo! Aces strategy guys! Top notch!
A democratic candidate just got put in handcuffs because ICE is going all fascist and you're somehow making it the Democrats' fault. Fuck off with that.
I haven't forgiven anything in either of these comments. Try harder next time.
Yes, because it's all pointlessly performative. It's like that stupid taco truck or those signs at the state of the union. Pointless performative crap.
Democrats have forgotten how to actually use and exercise POWER. Republicans still remember how to use it. And this is why Democrats are losing.
