Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. 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:

  1. Articles must be relevant to US politics and contain quality and original content. Social Media adjacent hosts like Substack are allowed, but ONLY if they tie back to a company/subsidiary. No personal or friend group blogs and no self-promotion. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and re-hosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. 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 other users of being bots or paid actors.
  3. No memes, trolling, misinformation, or low-effort posts/comments (including reposts). If you see posts like this that anger you, do not engage. Report, block, and live a happier life than they do. Any slap-fight is subject to comment removals. Fights full of rule violations will result in temporary bans to cool off.
  4. No manipulating votes via bots or alt accounts; this will result in permanent bans. 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.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in an account ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be permanently banned.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules and use critical thinking when reading, posting, and commenting. Users that repeatedly have 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. The reason(s) behind moderator action(s) are publicly available through the Modlog.

That's all the rules!

This lady's podcast is great, because they're still relatively unknown enough that people don't realize that they're badass progressives that will hold your feet to the fire.

So they get guests like Cory Booker on, and then refuse to let him weasel out of refusing to call Gaza a genocide.

Probably only a matter of time before people catch on and they stop going on the show I guess.

I love their podcast. They talk so much shit to the powers that be.

Those two are a shining example of how the Democratic party has enabled the growth of facism in this country. If you stand for nothing but party donors then you become complicit in whatever results from your inaction.

Dems need to dump those two if they want to improve their odds, replace them with actual leaders if they want to do better, or run someone with real progressive values if they'd like to try their hand at governance again.

The Democratic Party leadership doesn’t want to “improve their odds”, or “do better”, they want to maintain their proximity to wealth and power, and to get rich off of insider trading. They are not your friends, and they are not your representatives. They do not want to help you.

The money that finances them does not want them to help most people.

More people should listen to her.

Time to give these sell outs the fucking boot

They will never support policy that will force their rich doners to make concessions, and wealth inequality has gotten to a point where that is required for things to get better.

I’d wait to see what he does in power before I ride that wave personally.
