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!

Well that certainly is a lot of links you've got there. And you've used them so well - pointing out how they relate, etc etc.
I was expecting you to make an effort but hey I know finding and pasting links is a lot of work for some random fistfight over who's more better at fighting evil. So, okay, let's see what we have here.
So you open up with a quote from jacobin - pass. That's - that's not evidence of anything, that's opinion. "We contend that the candidates with the best chance of winning are the ones with an orientation similar to that of Sanders" Yeah yeah good luck in any red state which not sure if they're aware, there are a few of, and just to rig everything good and proper they gave those shitholes electoral votes. If I was in a shithole state, would I love to elect someone like Sanders? Absolutely. A few candidates like that run every so often. They always get killed. Running an unpopular candidate is not the DNC keeping third-parties from being active. They can do that all day long with all the money it takes for a goddamned filing fee. Do they? Nope. Because they're not serious. They're not. Serious.
Anyway, let's see what your mystery links are:
Well that's interesting. As it was peak covid ,
After all that exciting Zoom campaigning, tens of thousands of voters stormed the ballot boxes to demand socialist policie- wait, sorry not tens of thousands. Just a few tho. . wait . . a thousand? . . . less than a thousand? Five hundred. Less? Three hundred.
Okay so 32. Still. That's a mandate baby.
So the Las Vegas Democratic Socialists primaried all the Democratic candidates as a result of a "years long battle" and the DNC said fine good luck? Gosh I wonder why they couldn't get along. Probably because the DNC was desperate to do the genocides and the hero LVDS party refused to play any role in such atrocities. Or - it's possible the LVDS were led by insufferable pricks who failed at all attempts to work together. Who can say?
This has some interesting takes on it though:
So despite being "a true comrade"(.) the Democratic voters booted her first chance.
Well, that last one was at least interesting.
