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!

So the democrats have decided we think climate change isn't a big deal?
Great. I'm sure I'll be tired of winning soon.
this is the Abundance turd repackaged
Also human rights and democracy.
If they give up on those three things they may as well be republicans.
They were already about as right leaning as any sane political party ever could be, for the last several decades.
idk about others but i've decided it's not a big deal. putting food on the table and making housing affordable again are more urgent issues. if you think differently, you've probably never been in personal economic hardships, my dear friend.
no one should ever, ever take political takes from you.
I'm not your friend.
Yeah well I'm not your guy buddy
Climate change is actually pretty fucking important when it comes to putting food on the table
It's a centered focus on what the majority of Americans want while less focus on unpopular political hot button topics.
Honestly it might be their best move considering all MAGA does is focus on what angers people and gets their relatively small base riled up.
In the context of all voting Americans if you can get more people excited about helping where we are all hurting then it's going to win over the little but loud group of pissed off Americans.
Democrats losing elections by appealing to the centre is how we got to this... This... Erstwhile new idea of appealing to the centre.
I left, but I've never felt worse for the people who don't have that option.
What's being outlined here is litterally the worst idea in politics right now.
it's basically max ratchet effect.
here's the hint: You aren't going to appeal to facists by meeting them half way. Why the fuck would a fascist voter vote for half fascism when full fascism is on the table. and guess what, you meet them halfway and now you've both lost the election and are half a fascist.
The idea is idiotic on its face and any one promoting it is a problem.
The answer is obvious and has been obvious since 2016. Focus on policies that help people and make a material difference in their lives. Stop feeding the corporate consultant class that exclusively serves billionaires and build people powered campaigns.
Yeah! Tell them, not me. It's shocking that this shit still has to be said. I feel like I'm in a kindergarten groundhog day.
The echo chamber is strong around here. Let us know the next time a progressive wins on the national stage.
Go take your failed approach to electoralism and try to convince the Republicans to meet in the middle
I know reality can be a hard thing to grapple with, I think MAGA folks are suffering from the same disorder.
Bruh you are the one with the disorder for wanting to continue to repeat the failed approaches that led directly to fascism.
Son, sit down and watch the adults vote. Maybe you'll vote with your head next time instead of sitting it out or making a protest vote.
Child you obviously the one who doesn't know what their talking about.
All you've offered is the same bad advice that litterally slept walk the entire DNC into being cosponsors to fascism:
No one should listen to you.
