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!

I’m liking this guy more and more.
The same guy who had Charlie Kirk on his podcast a little while ago to kiss his ass? Hell no. He’s better than Trump, but a wet pile of dog shit is better than Trump.
Who would you like to see win the Democratic primary?
Mamdani lol, or Colbert
Or AoC
Or even Walz, at least he knew to call a spade a spade and a weirdo a weirdo (until his own party muzzled him).
If we get Newsom it’ll just be more of the same hooray-for-rich-donors-to-hell-with-the-rest-of-you let’s-head-over-and-court-the-far-right bullshit the Democrats have been doing for decades and I’m fucking sick of it. We need a president and congress that sits for the people, not just the people that bribe them.
An AOC/Walz or Walz/AOC ticket would do great as long as the party lets them
Great answers.
You’re the first person to actually answer with something besides ‘anyone else is better then him.’
The big issue isn’t just the Republicans, really; it’s how the Democrat leadership shuts down anyone who isn’t pro-Israel and pro-rich-donor. They’re so old-boys-club that they’re totally out of touch with voters.
And so people see one Nazi-party and one reach-across-the-isle cooperate-with-the-Nazi-party and just… walk away.
I mean, Schumer’s said flat out his only job is making sure the Democrats support Israel. And all the rest of the leadership talks about is how they don’t seem to be getting support… so they should quit supporting trans rights and stuff, and go court republicans.
It’s fucking infuriating. And Newsom is just cut from that same insipid cloth.
What’s infuriating is that people see the two parties and think they can be remotely the same.
I blame the education system and maybe lead in the water lines.
I mean, they’re not, if you actually pay attention to politics. One group are actual racist shithead Nazis, for one thing.
But the other group are apologists for the Nazis, as long as the nazi’s donors give them money too, anyhow. Because they’re rich and white, so who cares about consequences right?
The issue is that looks close enough that people who don’t pay attention to politics (and let’s be real, that’s most people) just… don’t care. We see it, but the news makes sure they don’t, and even in the case of Faux News feeds them an alternate reality narrative.
Democrats are, taken as a party, inadequately good. They do not resist the pressures and incentives around them to pursue the light.
Republicans are, taken as a party, evil. They collect donor money, but they would happily do the oppression of minorities for free. A number of them seem plausibly likely to pay for the privilege, actually.
He’s a corrupt shitbag. We pay the highest residential energy rates in the entire world here because the regulator is totally captured. Oh, and guess who is a major shareholder of the utility company? What a coincidence.
