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!

It's never Democrats fault that they lose, it's only the voters fault for not being loyal enough.
Democrats can never fail, they can only be failed.
How incredibly short sighted. Parroting the dumb shit the algorithms plastered everywhere. Don't misunderstand, it was a choice between eating a turd sandwich and accepting fascism but you decided you're too noble to eat shit so now we'll all live in it.
If you would stop eating shit for even one election cycle the Uncommitted Movement would have been able to force the Democrats to break with Israel. Democrats love Israel, and genocide, but if they knew for sure that they could never win any elections by supporting Israel they'd stop doing it.
Presuming they actually want to win, of course.
But because voters keep eating shit the Democrats were assured they could ignore the Uncommitted Movement and still beat Trump. And then they lost. And now elections are probably over forever and we'll have to do something else now, so this argument is pointless.
If it were a normal opposition candidate I'd agree, I'm completely fed up with Dem leadership and think they should all be removed. I'll gladly vote for third party and am planning to vote for Working Families candidates wherever possible going forward. But this was the one time it really mattered more to just have anybody but the opposition in office. This wasn't some theoretical would be dictator, he'd already showed his true colors on Jan 6th. The time to fight Dem leadership isn't at such a high stakes election.
Doesn't matter anymore, elections are over.
My side failed to get Democrats to stop supporting genocide, your side failed to get Democrats elected. We both lost. I blame you for assuring Democrats that they didn't need to stop supporting genocide to win, you blame me for not being a loyal voter, but it doesn't really matter anymore because we both lost and elections are over. Probably forever.
It's time to get over it and do something else.
How did this person assure democrats of anything?
Sounds more like you just fell for the propaganda you were spoon fed and you’re still out here defending your bad decisions.
Think critically. Listen to what the candidates themselves say and do, then make the best choice.
You did none of this last time.
