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.

AOC won surprisingly at her first foray into politics when she was up against an established monied opponent. If she primaries against Schumer, she might just be able pull it off again. Remember that even some MAGA appreciates her anti-oligarchy run, which in turn makes her look authentic for the masses. The look for authenticity in a politician is what many affluent people-- both liberals and conservatives alike-- do not understand of the Trump phenomenon, or even the popularity of Sanders, Walz and AOC.
We need this, the GOP must be destroyed by a strong Democratic party that doesn't have the work ethic of a Uvalde cop.
Drop the word "Democratic" from that sentence and you're correct.
Third parties aren't viable
Third parties are not viable in the US Two Party System, it's Dems or bust
This isn't a two party system. Both parties are owned by the same group of billionaires.
That's an illusion of choice no different than picking from among the companies owned by Nestle.
People seem content with billionaires controlling american ~~political system~~ life I guess.
AOC should keep her house seat, but they need to push someone in the senate to replace him, preferabally a vetted out one that is not a dino. DEMS need to start vetting out DINOs, or Gop that switch to D just tog et elected.
No, she has become a powerful voice, and she needs to be in the Senate. It's long past time for that spineless weenie Schumer to GTFO. I've never forgiven him for the way he stabbed Al Franken in the back. His cowardice is a major reason that MAGA has grown so strong. If he wont go on his own, she should throw him out in the embarrassing and humiliating fashion that he has earned.
Could you lot not just make her president (if you're lucky enough to have another election)? I mean if a whole bunch of people registered as democrats for the sole purpose of making her the official candidate?
That's not how it works here. We the people don't really choose who runs, we just have the privilege of backing a preselected candidate that will continue to do the bidding of lobbyists or have the opposition who is also being supported by lobbyists but also Russia and they also eat babies. It's a joke and has been for forever and people are just now catching on now that it's too late.
I assumed that party members voted on who they put forward as their candidate.
