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!

MODERATORS
By Kevin Harris and Richard McDaniel (TriceEdneyWire.com)—Democrats ended 2025 with important victories that steadied a rattled party still reeling from Donald Trump’s return to power. Yet even after those wins, Democratic approval ratings remain stubbornly low. A recent Quinnipiac University poll found only 18 percent of voters approve of the way congressional Democrats are handling […]The post Harris and McDaniel: Democrats can’t win in 2026 on Trump resistance alone appeared first on Atlanta Daily World.
Define resistance?? Vowing to fully undo all his orders destroy any structures he build prosecute all criminal members of his party? Now we're talking.
If I hear the words bipartisan from the next Democratic politican I'm immediately turning off, because he / she is a moron.
Nobody in the DNC leadership or embraced by the DNC leadership would DREAM of doing anything of the sort. Meaningful reform and categorically denouncing fascism are too "divisive" for them.
They're still laser focused on chasing the "considering voting for Trump but doesn't reflexively vilify anyone with a D behind their name" voting bloc, which consists of 7 or so people by now.
Prepare to drastically reduce your screen time, I guess 🤷
Like the system in general, the Democratic Party is beyond repair and needs to be replaced with something better suited to a modern society that's beginning to realize just how thoroughly corrupt the people and systems most people more or less implicitly trusted are.
