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!

I've got some bad news... That road ran in to some minor issues... https://youtu.be/JJ6iOpmt_Mc?si=JnNimZQNwYnU87hj
I will be doing town meetings in Omaha, Nebraska, this Friday night and Iowa City, Iowa, on Saturday morning.
Poor bernie. Guy's been getting up on Saturdays to fight fascism for the last 5 decades
...unfortunately the car is stuck in reverse...
Then get out in the streets! TF with all this defeatism.
And on fire.
It's a cybertruck
Packed full of more backward-ass clowns than you'd believe the laws of physics would allow for.
Sorry Bernie, the US turned off that road years ago.
And they will call this far left. Sad that they cant just see this as someone who is left of center. Best of luck.
30 years ago, he would be center or slightly left
Nobody educated calls this the far left.
Now we have Citizens United and also Elon Musk, I guess—no disrespect to Bernie—but Musk, as the world’s wealthiest individual, he can influence political primaries through his vast fortune and control of powerful social media platforms. He is an oligarch to the endth degree. This is exemplified by his position as a close advisor to Trump and his ability to shape political discourse through his platform, X. Prove me wrong; hasn’t he already set the stage?
Agreed. I love Bernie but it for him to say we’re on the right road for Democracy and Justice is laughably false, and it diminishes my opinion of him to hear him say it. To move forward, we first have to agree we’re very much -not- on the right road. I once valued Bernie for speaking honestly to Americans. This is a disappointing departure.
but it for him to say we’re on the right road for Democracy and Justice
He didn't say that. Where are you getting that from?
The headline is "we're on the road". Literally. As in he's touring around the US trying to educate and organize people.
Right. The headline says we’re on the road. It has 2 interpretations. One is the literal meaning that they are touring America. The other is that things are moving in the right direction. I was strongly disagreeing with the second interpretation.
OK, but if you read the article it becomes very clear it's the former meaning. So you're disagreeing with an opinion that the original piece is not presenting.
You've invented a fake argument to be mad at. Why? Isn't there enough actual bullshit going on right now?
