Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. 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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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 bet they have an idea which party they think will fight harder.

I believe that the Democratic party has finally realized that they dont have to lie and cheat like the Reoublicans, they just have to show strength, and play Hard Ball.

Last night Schiff was on Kimmel, and basically said "Fuck You" to Trump in code - TWICE! The first one was when Kimmel asked him if he said "Thank You" to Trumo, referencing that disgusting press conference with Zelensky, and Schiff said, "I used a different two word phrase, and one of the words was You." He also closed his interview with a similar joke.

Schiff has always been a respectful, honorable guy, so to hear him go out of his way to clearly say Fuck You to Trump on national TV seems to indicate a new messaging strategy for the Democrats, and the rest of his interview confirmed it as well. I hope we are going to start seeing much stronger messaging from the Dems in the future.

I don't know how easy it is for another party in America, but it would be great right now because the parties available at current are Republican and Republican

I think it is easiest to do the same thing MAGA did. Redefine the party. Primary out all corporate Democrats. We can easily stay with those that don't do anything to help us in current crisis.

Most importantly though we need more progressives to replace them: https://runforsomething.net/

Even at midterms, replace as many as possible. Just like the Republicans, ones who are remaining will change their tune.

But that will mean aoc and other progressives will need to start calling out the shills by name. Some Americans still think their Democrat is on their side, when many are obviously not
