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!

The neo liberals don't like what sanders is doing so they are trying to do the same thing to offer their tepid right leaning centrism which is what brought us to this point. The billionaire owned democrats are always looking for a way to impose their tepid right leaning centrism and thwart any hint of leftward movement towards economic democracy. Their goal is to maintain this class dictatorship at all costs and allowing full fledged fascism to enter the highest office was preferable to any administration that resembled FDR from Gaining power.
Good job letting perfect get in the way of progress.
Tim Walz is a progressive but because he's not calling for guillotines out of the gate you're dismissing his credentials and record.
Stop helping the enemy divide us.
The enemy that divided us was the democratic party who made it clear they were more than willing to sabotage working class voters to ensure that policy would not move to the left. Their main prerogative is to thwart economic democracy and maintain the class dictatorship of neo liberalism that their wall street military and prison industry profiteers pay them to maintain. The enemy isnt the right its billionaire war mongering prison industry profiteers who control both parties. The democratic party by the standards of the rest of the developed world is a center right party. We don't even have a true left opposition party in the us just two different flavors of conservative boot licking bullshit working to undermine working class consciousness and solidarity at every possible opportunity
You're either shilling for them or need to understand that Democrats and Republocans aren't the problem, the Lazy Rich who want to take more money for less work are the problem.
Sanders has been going on rampage and is as passionate as ever. We don't need someone who "is a nice guy and follows the rules", the rules are what's getting broken, we need someone (man or woman) with some fucking BALLS. This is class warfare and we don't have a ton of time left. Between AI and climate change we need to figure out shit out way sooner rather than later. Waltz seems like a fine guy, but come the fuck on, we don't need a Midwestern nice dad, we need someone with some fire.
Tim Walz has plenty of fire, people forget really quickly, I guess. The only reason that he wasn't able to continue being spicy on the campaign trail was because of the clueless fucking DNC.
He has got fucking conservative neo liberal dad hedge fund bro astro turfed out the ass energy. He has the wrong energy. The Democratic party needs to get out of the way and allow for true leftism instead of sabotaging anything that threatens their cash cow.
Get the fuck out of here with your harmful purity test bullshit. Divisiveness like that is why the left hasn't had a cohesive successful resistance to the lock step solidarity of the GOP.
Good shit, I like it.
