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!

Are you well versed in every Democrat in Congress and their positions and statements over the last eight years? If so, I'd like to ask you questions. However, you are not. So where do you get this crap? I know where you get this crap. It's the corporate news, like everyone else.
Did you want to argue you read all the beltway newsletters, interact with grassroots organizations, and have a buddy who tends bar at the local Dem watering hole? Again, if so, I'd like to ask questions.
What the - who are "democrats" here? And what is "know"ing that he is not going to (what is) "achieve" "his" goals? "Leftists create telepathic webbing of negative function that support evil farts around the world." That's what that sounds like. Crazy shit. Define some terms at least.
"the most opposition" eh. What did they do to him in 2020? Answer as completely as possible and cite your sources, as there will be follow ups. (TL;DR: You read it in a comment somewhere and took it as gospel). Hey, I'll give you DWS who was booted from the party as soon as it came to light but you need to acknowledge the latter to get that one. You also need to explain his primary losses. Why can't you support Bernie? He's asking you to support the Democrats. You choose to flip him off because you supposedly agree with him.
'Twas ever thus. But we've never had instant worldwide communication before in such an open format. So far we've used it to fumble the one thing we should have absolutely done. Go progressives. Morons.
That cnn article is great. I followed the author to find this which is also relevant. Check the date on that one.
I would argue that this means progressives need to be more involved in the Democratic party to finally take it over as it should be. But instead they're jerking off to Marx and backing no one and doing nothing.
Well you're wrong there. They have a national organization, it's huge, and they have money and connections. What does Deez Nutz have? A twitter account.
No. Also wrong. It's a popular talking point. It's equivalent to "50,000 Elvis fans can't be wrong!" but it is wrong.
Do you know the context of that quote? If you did, you wouldn't be so sure it's a great example of your previous incorrect assumption.
