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
Watch there be a record low voter turn out this year as moderates don't want to vote for communists and left-wings are upset because the progressive candidate in general isn't the exact flavor of manic socialist dream politician that they wanted.
Ain't that some bullshit that every time they win the primary I have to "hold my nose" and vote for their coprophagic ghoul, but when DSA sweeps the primary it's "damn, I hope you had fun driving away moderates"
Most leftists don’t vote anyways.
most people don't vote.
It's almost like the 2 party system in the US garbage
One party*
But hopefully that'll change
Yeah you have a party that actively hates us, our friends, our country and democracy itself and another one that isn't perfect so let's burn down the whole motherfucker right?
Both of your sentiments have truth to them. The solution is something like Ranked Choice Voting, no? Of course, we'd need enough representatives able and willing to implement that change.
Too many of my fellow Americans fail to see how big of an impact the outdated plurality voting system is. They don't see how the math of plurality voting is ruining things, especially in serving the billionare Epstein Class instead of We the People. Reading about Duverger's Law and seeing how the wealthy exploit it is too boring for them. It's easier to get caught up in the D vs R puppet show than to find the roots of the problem and pull them out. Stop Plurality Voting in the US, state by state!
It would be pretty absurd for centrists to see that choice and refuse to vote for the not perfect party, wouldn't it?
That's the comeuppance your first comment was fantasizing about isn't it?
I wasn't dreaming of any comeuppance.
Apparently a lot of people disagree with you, but sadly this is a highly possible outcome. It's also exactly how the far right propaganda machine will spin it.
People get butthurt when they hear the truth but someone has to say it in this echo chamber.
There are worse ways to earn a paycheck I guess.
