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!

We did that with Biden. Good thing he took his responsibility seriously and went after Trump for attempting to overthrow the government. Whoops, I guess he forgot that part of the plan.
Whoops, it's all Garland.
The difference is this time we'll have a choice who the general candidate is...
We thought that until they rigged the primary for Biden.
Remember how he wasn't even in the top 5 until they convinced all the other corporate candidates to drop out at the same time, but made sure Warren stayed in for one more round to knock Bernie out of first place?
If you didn't know Hillary, Biden, and Kamala were going to get shoved down our throats in 2016, 2020, and 2024...
Maybe you should listen to the people who saw it coming back then, when they tell you this time is different?
By you own admission, you're not good at predicting these things, so maybe you should listen to the people who have been good at predicting this stuff?
That's not rigging, that's politics. If you can't convince people to vote for you, that's your problem.
Bernie or Warren could've consolidated too but they didn't. And for all the people that did come out in the primaries, they thought Biden was best.
What youre describing is just being a sore loser.
Signed- someone who got off their ass and voted Bernie in 2020.
Nope. What I'm describing is not letting the people choose, but artificially fucking with the available choices to advantage a particular candidate.
I also voted Bernie, but it was 5 months after the primary was supposedly already decided. Most of the country literally didn't have a choice between active campaigns. I can't be a sore loser of the game was over before I got a chance to play.
Where's the democracy?
