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!

Zohran The Destroyer (of class inequality, oligarchy).

I can’t wait to see what nefarious shit awaits us knowing how popular he is and how many powerful the unpopular have become

Imagine doing such a bad job as mayor that even as an incumbent, you're polling behind Curtis Sliwa.

I really hope he's got independent security. Because New York's biggest gang has already started making threats.

13% undecided? I'm not holding my breath. The fascists and the faithless Democrats are gonna do whatever it takes to tank him.

NYC get out and knock on some doors!!!

It'll be really telling if Silwa drops out to support Cuomo

I have been told to Vote Blue No Matter Who and I am a loyal democrat. Zohran has my vote.

What other cities have ranked-choice voting or approval voting?

Who the fuck would vote for Adams at this point?

It's so funny to see institutional democrats turning on Zohran and institutional republicans turning on Silwa.

Democracy means absolutely nothing to these people.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 20 hours ago

Nothing has exposed the hypocrisy of the Establishment Democrats than David Hogg getting into the DNC, and Zohran crushing the Chosen Democrat in the primary.

The Tea Party had to take control of the Republican Party before it could evolve into MAGA, and the Progressives are going to have to take over the Democratic Party before they can establish a true Constitutional government.

Good! May it not only continue, but increase!
