Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. 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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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!

Right right that's true, we should focus on the future. But if you're too blind to realize that most Washington Democrats are never going to help make things better, you need to look at the past more.

We got where we are for many reasons, which definitely include the actions of Democratic president and congresspeople over the last three decades. Those people brought us where we are, with Republican help of course, so we would be fools to expect any better from them going forward.

Yeah, this article is completely omitting, why Biden and Harris lost. It is not addressing that the current party elites are the same party elites like before the election. Biden and Harris life on politically in the DNC.

But it continues to simmer; data analyst Lakshya Jain argues that “Democrats are on the verge of a Tea Party-style, intra-party revolt.” He also identifies the anger as directed at Trump, not Biden.

“The numbers suggest that the fury is at least partly fueled by the Democratic base’s dissatisfaction with congressional leadership’s relatively conciliatory approach to Trump this time around, and their inability to stop him,” Jain writes.

It is the same "revolt" that was tried to prevent the party from loosing catastrophically to Trump by being a pro genocide pro wall-street party. It is the embracing of "bipartisanship" and peddling to "moderate Republicans" like Dick mass murder Cheney that is now voting alongside the Trump administration and rightfully despised. It is the same liars that kept pretending Biden was at his mental faculties when everyone could see videos of him wandering around blitzed out of his mind and gaslighting everyone who said Biden needs to drop out as "secret Trump supporters".

There will be no improvement without acknowledging what went wrong, who is responsible and most importantly tossing the responsible people out and letting a new generation take hold, one that does believe genocide, war crimes and capitalism sucking the blood out of everyone are indeed wrong and need to end.
