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 kind of want to see Bernie Sander run and lose so all the Bernie Bros shut up.
boo, go back to being funny
They were never funny
I didn't ever see myself agreeing with you, but here I am.
/agree
I want to see someone 30 years younger than any current candidate on the ballot. Love me some Bernie, I voted for him in the 2016 primary, but guess what, time for someone I don't have to worry about snapping an ankle getting out of bed.
Wouldn’t that be nice?
Someone who is alive for the consequences of their policies?
Yes, but the saying does go "Societies grow great when old men plant trees, the shade of which they shall never enjoy." Or something like that.
Yeah but shouldn’t they be alive for the first watering?
I would settle for them just doing the planting, that's apparently a hard ask these days.
Yes, there is certainly a group within the Democratic Party that prefers a hereditary dictatorship headed by the Trump family to any progressive.
The progressives would rather have Trump then 90% of democrats so I guess those two groups have something in common!
Centrists got their second choice in 2016.
We're talking about the current year, 2024.
Not nearly a decade ago.
Centrists have only moved to the right since then.
Now they've adopted Trump's immigration policy and are happily supporting genocide.
But it seems if you move a bit to the left all the sudden you’re supporting Trump himself.
According to centrists, yes. Opposition to genocide is regularly met with accusations of being a Trump supporter here.
I remember months of ‘Biden is masterminding a genocide’ followed by ‘Biden is too old and incompetent’ so I keep getting confused about what the issue is why you won’t vote for Trump’s only viable competition.
Masterminding and supporting are two different things. You know this and have chosen to misrepresent the position of people who you hate because they're not on board with murdering Palestinian children.
Sorry your wing of the party could no longer hide that.
I'll vote for Biden if he's the nominee. Not that you care. You're too hung up on trying to make sure your genocide supporting god encounters no criticism whatsoever.
You sure assume a lot about me but you don’t even know me.
I don’t hate anyone.
Lotta that goin' around.
Yes, but it’s very one sided.
Tell me who I'm not voting for again.
My genocide supporting god?
I hope he's no longer in the race by then, but if he is, I'll be voting for him. And resenting the party that manipulated me into voting for someone who supports genocide.
