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!

Wait they haven’t already?

Saying they will is farther than they usually get. They usually just blame voters for not backing whoever their primary fuckery pushed as the nomination.

They learned all the wrong lessons, and then fucked with the next two primaries?

[–] twistypencil 1 points 5 days ago (1 children)

They fucked over the Bernie people

As much as some people like Bernie, he was a bad choice as well. He likes to promise lots but that is easy to do if you know those programs will never be viable.

Stop voting for people based on looks or last name or being extreme. Good leaders are the ones with experience and who have moderate and sustainable platforms.

Alternately keep putting in nut cases.

You want Jamie Harrison to investigate himself?

His only qualification was being able to raise an obscene amount of money from dubious sources and then losing the election.

He did what he was brought on board to do, why would he then snitch on himself?

The chair election is 2/2/25. Depending on who wins we have a chance at finding out, but there's also a good chance they just cover it up.

The DNC is a private organization and has no obligation for transparency.

They aren't going to either.
