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!

Is your way any different though? It seems you're just as convinced it's your way or nothing. If the tables were turned, and a bunch of liberals were refusing to vote for a communist incumbent unless they had more neoliberal policy, would you agree that the communists should compromise?
Everyone's self assured of their path being the righteous one. What actually makes them different though is if you're willing to do the same if the tables are turned. If you aren't, then why should you expect the same of your opponent?
There should be NO compromise with anything or any party that prefers capital over people. Democrats claim to support marginalized communities then vote for politicians that enact laws against the marginalized. Which translates to you dont have our back other than for social clout. I trust someone that hates me to my face over someone that does it covertly
And as a non white guy, I fear for my family more with the person who hates me to my face than the one who whispers about it behind my back.
Can you explain then why most minority voters tend to pick Democrats over Republicans? Or why black voters vastly preferred Biden over Sanders?
Black people were overwhelmingly supporting Sanders in 2020, thats why the DNC kneecapped him.
That's not the case at all. It was one of Bernie's biggest weaknesses
