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
DSA guy here, and sorry y’all, you can’t sit out this election. You have to go with the blue line vote, even if it stinks to high heaven. We HAVE primaried some quality candidates and we still have a way to go. But if blue loses this one, we’re irreversibly cooked. Get your passports ready if it comes to that. Anyone who even whiffs the slightest of “leftist” will become a target for the government.
We can continue to restructure things inside the party to push towards true leftism in the coming years. That requires the ability to actually vote without suppression or intereference.
You're shouting into the void. Non-voters only support mythical unicorn candidates they agree with on 100% of all issues.
They do that because there has been a relentless propaganda onslaught telling them to do it.
You DSA jobbers talk like it cost money to vote “even if it stinks”.
It’s electoral politics, get over yourselves.
Also, vote 3rd party, vote green or socialist party of America
None of those parties have the potential traction that DSA has right now, they’re actually putting significant pressure on the democrats right now.
The socialist party of America hasn’t been anywhere in the consciousness of the public recently.
The current state of third party politics only serve to get the GOP candidates, including Trump, elected in battleground states.
Until the system is fractured and we truly have more than two parties, this is what we get. And I choose the lesser evil over increasing fascism.
Bruh I’m trollin, you think anyone who actually follows politics year round votes 3rd party? lol
Top tier trolling actually, take my upvote
Greens are MAGA plants led by a Putin lackey. Shut up.
