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 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.
  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 another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. 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.
  4. 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 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!

Well... bye...

[–] newthrowaway20@lemmy.world 15 points 10 hours ago

This is the greatest endorsement of Hasan I've ever seen. And I'm not in any way a Hasan fan.

[–] kylie_kraft@lemmy.world 54 points 13 hours ago

I sure care what an 81 year old who hasn't been relevant since the 90s has to say about the future of a party that he won't be there to see

[–] phutatorius@lemmy.zip 7 points 9 hours ago

Win/win.

Not a big win, since I find Hasan abrasive. But Carville fucking off would be a very good thing.

[–] SaltyAmerican@lemmy.world 23 points 11 hours ago

He's largely responsible for the DNC sharp turn to the right under Clinton with 3rd way Democrats and the DLC

[–] BigMacHole@thelemmy.club 57 points 13 hours ago

~~BLUE no matter WHO!~~ I'm LEAVING!

-James Carville!

[–] TryingToBeGood@reddthat.com 30 points 12 hours ago

Ok, bye? Seriously—I have The Hill open in a tab on my work laptop (because it’s work related) and I keep seeing him throwing tantrums, and think, “Who cares what you think?”

Thanks, Mr. Wonka

[–] Tolookah@discuss.tchncs.de 18 points 13 hours ago

A majority of Democrats agree he should leave?

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 14 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

I find Hasan to be a bit annoying at times, but also - when was the last time Carville was relevant?

[–] assembly@lemmy.world 13 points 12 hours ago (2 children)

Or even right about anything. I have seen his interviews on CNN for the past 20 years and his predictions and strategies have consistently been shit. I still don’t understand why he gets so much air time. Maybe he’s a holdover from the boomers or something but I’ve never understood why he was relevant. As a strategist, he hasn’t exactly crushed it against the worst major political party in (possibly) US history.

I still don’t understand why he gets so much air time.

Usually in cases like that, it's because the person is saying what the oligarchs want to be true.

[–] Skyrmir@lemmy.world 6 points 10 hours ago

He won against the 90's GoP because there were still a few moderate republicans that hadn't learned that the party had gone full fascist. Since then the DLC has been a big money cow for the Dems, so they kept him around. Same reason Pelosi was house leader for so long, she brought in the funding fire hose, so she got the top spot.

[–] SpruceBringsteen@lemmy.world 14 points 12 hours ago

Why are we giving anything from Fox News attention?

[–] Astronut@lemmy.zip 16 points 13 hours ago

Well bye bye then!

[–] kescusay@lemmy.world 13 points 13 hours ago

Oh no! Anyway...

[–] bitjunkie@lemmy.world 11 points 13 hours ago

Don't let the door hit you in the ass, Jimbo

[–] EntheoNaut@lemmy.ml 12 points 13 hours ago

Dude is getting old, hardly relevant and barely able to communicate clearly.

The old guard is dying out, this is not a threat as much as last wish and grasp at legacy.

[–] Tm12@lemmy.ca 3 points 10 hours ago

The suits weren’t enough for Carville?

[–] Jaysyn@lemmy.world 6 points 12 hours ago

Good, fuck off.

[–] hoppeduponcoffee@lemmy.zip 5 points 13 hours ago

Good riddance!
