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!

Someone in the Williamson campaign needs to get their shit together and make sure they are seriously working towards getting her on the ticket in multiple states. Now that this idiot is dropping them she should get moving.
I know there is a lot of pressure on people working in her campaign to leave because they feel they will never be able to get a job in any other political job afterwards but she needs to get on more progressive shows and get the word out.
The crystal orb lady?
If a crystal orb lady supports tuition free college, strong unions, Medicare for all, shrinking the defense budget to pay for social services for everybody in your entire country then yeah the crystal orb lady is probably the person to vote for rather than a status quo that has been crushing everybody except the 1% of the top.
The current president believes that crackers and wine are blood and flesh, the previous president was a fucking psychopath who believed in nothing but the almighty dollar. Maybe the world needs some person that believes in something a little different or just let people believe what they want to believe.
I vote for the lesser of 2 evils cuz we don't have ranked choice and orb lady is a sure loser.
I am sure the sprit of his reply will be along the lines of "there's no better protest than to hand the country over to fascists".
Nah vote for Biden in the general election because Nazi fascists should be hung not running countries but don't pretend that a primary isn't happening like he currently is.
If Marianne is on ballots in primaries then she is participating in your democratic process and part of that is giving people.the chance to go out and decide between Williamson and Biden. It doesn't hurt Biden to have a primary challenger to debate unless he isn't fit for a debate. If he isn't fit for a debate against someone ostensibly on the same side to find the ideas that the Democrats want to support then how is he going to go against a fascist in a debate.
