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!

He is making the exact same mistake that RBG just made.
And despite everything she had done, RBG's legacy will be how she fucked us with the Supreme Court
Also, she was racist.
From the Marshall Project.
I hope there is an afterlife so that RBG can know how badly she has damaged the United States' social fabric as a result of her own hubris.
Honestly this is a pretty common mistake old people make. They latch on to who they used to be a detach from reality. Classic dementia symptoms
You say this as if Pelosi isn't in a similar boat, leading the sinking ship she refuses to get off of because she'll have nothing to do and no one to boss around anymore.
All of the DNC leadership are there in their 80+ glory. Constantly in the way of actually winning by making the decision they want in a vacuum ignoring the real world, and further ignoring everything that happens after that point. They did it with Hilary, they did it with Biden the first time (only winning because Trump clearly let millions die from COVID, and even then it was still somehow close). They just expect Dems to vote because the alternative is worse, instead of giving people an actual reason to do so, and are always surprised by the outcomes.
The DNC made their choice last year and it was never going to be different. The only reason they're talking about it now is because the debate that was never going to be a positive for Biden in any universe, was handled poorly, to the surprise of no one actually paying attention.
Pelosi stepped down as House Minority leader. I would like her (and the other 75+ members of Congress) to step down entirely, but tbf it could have been worse.
Leading the sinking ship she refuses to get off? She got off of it already. She's not leading anymore. She's preparing to retire.
You honestly think the current DNC leadership doesn't still do what Pelosi says? You are an idiot if you think no longer having the title means no longer having power in US politics.
You also conveniently are ignoring the rest of the leadership. They're still the other old fucks with the same ideas.
Changing a CEO doesn't replace the rest of the Board of Directors.
I feel like you think I was disagreeing with you but I wasn't haha
I had the same thought just today.
Ruth Bader Ginsburg?
Not OP but yes
