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!

Or you know, Bernie should just have it and everyone should stop stealing it. I mean I'm as liberal as they come, but c'mon Democrats, stop stealing Bernie's shit and leaving him behind and just listen to what Senator Sanders is telling you will actually win Americans.
I mean, I get it, I'm bummed about Trump, but shit, PLEASE LEARN SOMETHING THIS CYCLE DNC!! I mean there's a ton of reasons for why Trump won, but holy fuck, Democrats if you could run something just few nanometers short of the current level of insipid political rhetoric, that would be amazing.
I'll still vote Democrat on the mid term, but c'mon drink a Red Bull or something.
They can't and won't learn. They'd rather have a fake controllable populist on the right than a progressive on the left they can't control. The DNC has been serving nothing but corporate neocons since Clinton. They don't fuckin learn. They need to be thoroughly ripped apart before things will get better.
I really don’t think the DNC should be considered a viable party anymore. I’m betting Sanders and other progressives are working on the foundations of a new one. If they are, and it works, I’m going to register for a political affiliation for the first time in almost a decade and a half.
"Take America back again" is a nice play on this sentiment.

From mega corporations
From generational wealth
From hedge funds
From venture capitalists
For kids and schools
For affordable and private (between you and your doctor) healthcare
For a living wage for everyone
For affordable housing
For you
Don't forget private equity
Just call it capitalism.
Lol, that last sentence
