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!

Summary

Senator Bernie Sanders will visit Wisconsin next week for rallies in Kenosha and Altoona, targeting Republican-held congressional districts to boost Democratic turnout before the April 1 state election.

His visit comes as Wisconsin voters prepare to decide control of the state supreme court, a race that will be viewed as an indicator of sentiment about Trump's first months back in office.

Sanders aims to pressure GOP Representatives Steil and Van Orden on social program cuts and challenge what he calls "the country's move toward authoritarianism."

Both Republican congressmen criticized Sanders' visit, with Van Orden calling him a millionaire who "has never worked an honest day."

Bernie Sanders shows up and talks about policy stances for at least half an hour.

Kamala Harris has like 95% of the same policy stances but never talks about them, or the news that covers her never covers her talking about them. Instead Kamala would bring up on stage conservative hacks who oppose Trump after being pieces of shit until just recently, and show infomercials of farmers and friendly eagles.

But I still voted for her, and I would do so again, and I advocate everyone else do so as well. She is a force of good.

conservative hacks who oppose Trump after being pieces of shit until just recently

Let's be clear about this. They are still absolutely being pieces of shit. They don't mind all the worst stuff that Trump will do, but they don't like him being so obvious about it.
