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!

Don’t let them get you down Joe! You got more votes then Obama!
I kind of want to see Bernie Sander run and lose so all the Bernie Bros shut up.
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.
Did somebody lock Biden in the hyperbolic time chamber after betrayimg him?
You want Harris? You already have her. We're being manipulated into fighting about it to lose moderates.
That is what just amazes me. She is already the backup if he got that bad (and despite peoples hyperbole he is not that bad currently). I mean I will vote for her as the canidate just like I did for her being vp but I find the whole have biden step down is pointless and likely to just make things worse.
People want a ticket they can be excited about to make sure people get out there and vote in November. While potential Biden voters are not going to switch to Trump, there's a real chance they might stay home. That's essentially a vote for Trump.
Yeah, the Democrats really need a Hail Mary. Kamala is the best bet based upon where she is right now.
Yes, it's a risk, but not as risky as keeping Joe as the candidate.
I don't even think Kamala is a Hail Mary. I think she'd be the favorite to win in November.
I would too. Best president since Carter. Still to this day making moves and camping debt.
But he can't do the dog and pony show so, as per usual in the DNC, they can't toe the line under the big tent. It's bat shit insane and y'all deserve Trump.
