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.

Couldn't beat the bad guys on easy mode with every advantage.
A billion dollars thrown at their garbage political consultants and they lose to Angry Orange’s dumber brother.
Again.
I was just thinking about Jill Stein this morning and how insanely unnecessary she was. The dnc switching candidates did more damage than any 3rd party candidate could ever intend to do. Mind blowing how little they did even if only it had been simply to keep some semblance of fake pride. Something. Anything.
The democrats lost by being a shit party. It had nothing to do with Jill stein. They like to pretend to be for the working class but when it comes to actually passing things, rarely is that the case. The candidate they put failed to distinguish herself as any different from joe biden and failed to take a stance on genocide.
No one said they lost because of Jill Stein. That wasn't said anywhere. The gist of my statement was that the DNC did a fantastic job fucking this campaign up. I don't know where people think my statement said Joe Biden would have won. I don't know where you thought i said Jill Stein lost it for them. I can't comprehend how bad your reading comprehension has to be to take that away.
...why mention Jill Stein then...
Democrats lose when there’s not a fair primary. It’s happens a bunch of times.
What about where they didn't have primaries? The DNC said here's your candidate and you'll like it. Apparently people didn't
The last election is just the latest example. The last time they had an actual primary and not an anointing ceremony we got Obama.
Are you saying genocide joe would've won?!?! New level of lib delusions.
If that's your takeaway then i agree about delusions.
Do you think the average American voter gives two shits about selling weapons to another country to kill women and children?
As an aside, you write like someone whose brain has been melted away by too much internet. Just buzz labels and pop phrases over and over again. Unplug and read some actual novels, something that takes longer than a minute to read, im begging you
