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!

I'm so aroused!

If the Democrats don’t run honest primaries in every god damn race up and down the ticket, we will know who to blame if they can’t win.

Yeah, those stupid kids who want a perfect candidate and everything fixed immediately!

This is such a BS argument. The Dems we have are not working. They are aiding and abetting MAGA right now. They deserve to be primary'd

You probably couldn’t see it but tongue is firmly planted in my cheek.

Though no matter if the current crop wins or lose their primary any losses will be blamed on progressive voters and it will probably call them children.

I know because that’s what happens every time and humans are desperately boring and predictable.

Omg, tho, what if it turns out that progressive candidates actually start winning?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

Then I should be committed because Americans won't do that and I'm so depressed I'm hallucinating.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 21 hours ago

Don’t despair. We’ve never actually tried having honest primaries. I think it’s worth a shot.

Just prepare for the monumental ratfucking coming our way by the GOP.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

Don't threaten monumental rats with a good time.

Keep it up, but fuck everyone that didn't vote and helped put us here where we are today. Pepperidge Farm will always remember.

Most people think the left are evil Satanist trying to kidnap children and turn them trans

Don't forget, friends: consent is king, but prep & aftercare is clutch. Learn to love lube. Thank me later.

100%

They are just as culpable as actual Republican voters, no matter how they rationalize their decision to themselves.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 day ago

Keep it up until the midterms
