For civil discussion of US politics. Be excellent to each other.

Rule 1: Posts have the following requirements:
▪️ Post articles about the US only

▪️ Title must match the article headline

▪️ Recent (Past 30 Days)

▪️ No Screenshots/links to other social media sites or link shorteners

Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. One or two small paragraphs are okay.

Rule 3: Articles based on opinion (unless clearly marked and from a serious publication-No Fox News or equal), misinformation or propaganda will be removed.

Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, ableist, will be removed.

Rule 5: Keep it civil. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a jerk. It’s not acceptable to say another user is a jerk. Cussing is fine.

Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.

I hope they tell the old battle axe what she wants to hear, as they know she's on her way out anyway & they don't wanna get on the bad side of the inevitable future caucus leader. AOC is too good at this game to risk pissing off over the old biddy's last hurrah.

But then again, we're talking corporate Dems - not exactly known for making the smartest moves, are they?

You're being overly charitable. They aren't making mistakes; they're competently pursuing different goals than they claim to be.
