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.

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.

This is why the American right ate your lunch, the left constantly punching left and refusing to accept anyone as an ally
Are Zionists and Bitcoin shills and McKinsey consultants and ex-CIA flacks on "the left"?
Mamdani, AOC, and Sanders have plenty of allies. None of them work at the Washington Post.
If Zionists, Bitcoin shills and the like are willing to vote and fight against Trump, then we can deal with them in the aftermath.
I never got the crypto hate on the left, anyway. So you're all anti-establishment unless money is involved? Why draw a line, to fit in with the meta?
"Yes, they're fascists. But have you considered that they're our fascists?"
I see no real difference between them and people who didn't vote in November. The middle of that venn diagram doesn't look too happy.
If you can't tell the difference between these guys and these guys, idfk man.
Screaming "Vote Harder!" at Crystal Mason might make you part of the problem.
Their reasons don't matter as much as the result.
Sanders, is that the dinosaur you push despite saying you want old white mean out of politics? I remember him, he’s the guy who can’t win even the support of dems so he had no hope of winning a general election
Anyways im just a non American indigenous person watching you morons burn the world down, because of what another country is doing to another nation across the planet. This shows even the American left loves to play world police instead of fixing their own dumpster fire. You guys only cheapen a movement like aid for gaza, stfu and get in the back of the line Americans, better yet go deal with your fascist government
Do liberals get to drop that line after force feeding the nation Joe Biden? Idk.
This is a funny statement, because it could technically describe Prince Andrew.
Indigenous people can’t move or get on planes right? We brown Indians never migrate or move to Canada as a refugee cause American blew up our house right? Never happens! Everyone stays in the country they were born in, that’s why you guys call us wetbacks and border jumpers when we try. Racist prick
