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!

Behold the one prominent US politician with any principles.
And for that she will never be allowed near any real power...
It's one of the reasons reactionaries hate her so much.
And also that she's a woman of color who didn't stay "in her place."
And it's so annoying to hear liberals parrot the same shit because the conglomerates who own liberal media don't want to change the status quo.
There's a few more, but she's the most charismatic. It's a shame too, they tend to win more than their moderate counterparts during midterm races.
I love AOC but I sure hope she has a really good security team. Most of us hate Nazis, but a whole lot of Republicans are actually Nazis and they hate and despise her.
Unless you are one. And there seems to be no shortage these days.
I wish that were true but here we are with President Musk giving a Nazi salute and Americans said, "yeah, this feels right".
I greatly appreciate her frustration and look forward to her being the largest voice in dissent.
Same. But she better not be the only dissenting voice!

Ah yes, but that doesn't stop many of us from voting for them.
No one voted for Elon Musk, but here he is in the White House marching around doing the goose step.
Her peers cordially shaked hands with them well enough... Nevermind the richest members of the oligarchy who funded and paid respects to their coronation personally.
Weeeeellllll.... some of us do.
Demonstrably not, AOC.
Meh. 25% or so love them, another 25% couldn’t be bothered to care.
25% of people who couldn't be bothered to care are still considered Nazis as far as I know
You think the numbers are that low? I'd say tops only 33% of the US still hates nazis. The remainder are split between loving them or being indifferent
i never realized that in the final battle between the forces of good, evil, and indifference that the indifferent would be by far the largest and most dangerous faction
I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says: "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I cannot agree with your methods of direct action"; who paternalistically believes he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by a mythical concept of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait for a "more convenient season."
Shallow understanding from people of good will is more frustrating than absolute misunderstanding from people of ill will. Lukewarm acceptance is much more bewildering than outright rejection.

He got it
I know it's crazy
i guess the ancestors tried to tell us about the banality of evil, how badethings happen when good men do nothing, and that the path to hell is paved with good intentions

Nobody could have predicted him to be a bad person. Really, that came as a surprise for everyone 🤡
I wish that were true
'In this country, we hate Nazis'
I wouldn't be so sure. Trump didn't win the election in a packet of cereals...
If she's the only one in office that's willing to say anything about this, we're in a lot more trouble than we thought.
Oh, it’s even worse: Dem leadership is actively suppressing her ascendancy.
Fixed
