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!

MODERATORS
And if he does run, and if he does become the Democrat candidate, Democrats will accuse us of trying to get the Republican elected when we point out his transphobic comments and that he helped destroy homeless encampments.
And they will be completely fucking right with how utterly shortsighted that particular firing of the footgun would be.
Hes a generic white man in a party that will always try to shoot off the legs of progressives.
Until there is a progressive on the federal level with the charisma and fast thinking of Mamdani, this is the safe bet to stop marginalized people from being disappeared of the streets and tortured, sterilized, deported or killed, and stop the insane levels of corruption back down to the somehow now quaint Nancy Pelosi levels of corruption.
You people are literally hurting people who did not sign up to be hurt. Why do you think your idealistic purity politics matter more than other people's lives???
Its God damn insane, immoral and at best naive.
Liberals in general don't give a fuck about who's getting hurt, their concern lies in who's doing the hurting. Marginalized communities remain marginalized regardless of who's in office, their material conditions do not improve and often get worse. Your party supports marginalized communities as far as using them as background filler while the old white people speak for them, and when they try to speak for themselves they are silenced with shouts of 'Im speaking.'
Heres the thing about the chronically online "leftist" viewpoints.
They all seem to come from a place of feeling superior while doing nothing or worse.
What are the actions of these people you hate, Im assuming to mean pragmatical leftists and liberals both of whom don't want hitler 2.0: Electric Bugaloo?
They tried to support it not happening and are now the ones actually doing anything whatsoever. They are the senators, mayors, running obstruction and to a lesser extent people out protesting.
Instead, you're there focusing on criticizing, not the people doing the harm, but the people trying to stop it, for not perfectly aligning with you policy wise before in the election where you tacitly voted for the horrendous shit happening right now.
Guess what? You can't get your magic one day revolution. Changing the status of people takes a really long fucking time in such a system. Those are the facts of the system. You can sit it out and pout that it magically doesnt happen, or realize the system is what it is, and then do something within it or about it, rather than waxing lyrical about it online, dumping on the people who do.
The fact is, when the democrats, a center to center right party do not have a senate majority, there is very little they can do that isnt purse control, but you know what happens when they're in power? Marginalized people do better, and see better outcomes and lives.
Expecting a whole new world is just naivety
Ah yes, all the outspoken POC people in the democrat party are secretly white people, and the 85% or higher number of black people voting for them have no voices.
Your entire attitude is just one that does not care about marginalized people past using them as ammunition for the people closest in political goals to you.
Some people have the same political goals to you and you still rant about them because they aren't being idealistic do nothings.
