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!

Democrats don't want to win, they would rather have more Republicans than anyone against corporate donor interests.
democrats are professional losers
Their wallets don't lose tho. Fucking Nancy Pelosi insider trading forever
Let's see, how can this be solved?
- Go to the national DNC and demand they put him back.
- Go to the Minnesota voters (they voted for him) and get them to pull their money out of the DNC locally.
- Scream this at NY, they'll fight for you too.
This is a broken chapter and should be treated as such.
Minnesota voters didn't vote for him.
Minneapolis party delegates voted. But we'll never know how many voted for him, because 20% of the votes were left uncounted.
If this were any other election, there would be a unified call for a redo.
Let's have a unified call for a redo.
Stop running as a Democrat. You can be mayor as a Democratic socialist and independent. Just look at Bernie Sanders.
It’s a real shame all these technical failures and procedural mistakes keep happening whenever a progressive wins in the party. I’m sure someone that givesomefucks will be around any minute to tell us all that the new DNC is all about undoing the wrongs of the past and that is why the top brass are such sticklers now.
To be fair, the state party isn't the same thing as the national party. Heck, in Minnesota it doesn't even have the same name: it's officially the "Minnesota Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party" because the Minnesota Democratic Party merged with the legitimately left-wing Minnesota Farmer-Labor Party back in the day.
'Course, that only means we should be even more disappointed in how they're acting now.
Thats some Boeing merge with McDonell-Douglas shit going on. Let the rot in and it subsumes you inside out.
I wondered about that DFL part, and yeah misses the mark even more with that piece of history added.
STOP THE COUNT! THE VOTE IS RIGGED! - Democrats whenever a progressive is about to win.
Republicans: "Fucking starve for all I care."
Dem Soc: "Let's all work to make sure everyone eats."
Dems: "Here are some cake recipes."
My hot take is that democratic socialism needs a rebrand.
Hell, the GOP rebranded fascism and autocracy as “MAGA.”
Not sure about that. DSA is taking off and becoming a household name. Zohran Mamdani broke the stigma on socialism. Affordable housing sounds so attractive even if you call it socialism people will not care anymore.
That tracks unfortunately
Are we ready to accept the truth about US elections or nah?
