Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. 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. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.

4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.

7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link.

They get appointed.
By other spineless, soulless morons.
Given there's no apparent resistance I lack evidence of an opposing group.
Because the political system intrinsically defaults to a two party system making it very easy to entrench the two parties and create controlled opposition, which then works to squash actual resistance.
You can see it in action right now within the democratic party where a certain group of people would rather see them lose elections than support candidates who are looking to oppose the status quo.
Only an asshole could look at this situation and come up with a post blaming Democrats.
I would suggest you do better but let's face it, you can't and likely never will.
I'm sorry, is the entire American political system "Democrats"? I said the entire system is rotten. I only used democrats as an example because that's literally the most recent example. I could've used the tea party as a republican example but why use a 15 year old example when there's an example happening right now?
Perhaps instead of telling me to do better you should be telling that to the establishment democrats who are not just against the DSA but also Abdul El-Sayed, who isn't even a socialist. Perhaps the one who should be doing better is you?
OK now you're just making shit up.
The first thing that happened after Abdul won his primary was the entire fucking establishment endorsed him.
So you're either a liar or completely misinformed. Let us know which, thanks.
Not that it matters because you'll just fucking lie about that answer, too.
So there's no push to slander Piker and use his association with El-Sayed as a way to sabotage his campaign by trying to alienate the Jewish voters or the young voters who Piker rallied?
I guess I'm just making up the scrutiny El-Sayed receives for being associated with one of the biggest leftist voices in America.
No, you're just once again pretending that the ignorant and vile shit Republicans say is somehow on the Democrats.
So like I said, you're either a liar (aka a Republican) or an idiot. Doesn't really matter which.
Just because you don't know what the fuck I'm talking about doesn't mean I'm lying. And you know what I've been cordial enough. I'm not even going to educate you on this matter, fuck off. It's not my job to tell you about the AIPAC democrats who did a coordinated attack against Piker and it's not my job to explain to you why El-Sayed needs to make a public statement about how he's not looking to condemn Hasan. You want to gurgle on the dems balls, go gurgle.
There's that GOP bullshit I knew was at your core.
Thanks for playing!
I'm further left than you you dumb fuck, which you'd know if you had ever bothered to ask. But do continue proving how little you actually know or care to find out and how much you spend thinking you know better than others.
All we have to go on is your word, and so far, you've proven yourself utterly unreliable, but sure, keep throwing temper tantrums because no one believes your bullshit.
"I'm so far left that all I do is shit on Democrats" means you might as well be a fucking Republican, ya fuckin potato.
No, everyone else got what to look for, it's only you who is not capable of anything more than attacking me. I already told you to fuck off, I don't care about you desire to live in a "everyone who doesn't agree with me is my opposition" world. There's nothing to discuss with someone who has such a narrow view of the world.
