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!

Uh. What? "This is brand new" 😂🤡. Time to MAGA the democratic party hard left.
So back in 2016 when Bernie got shafted, and Dems stupid enough to not make him the VP, my response was that the democratic party needed to go twice as far to the left as the reps had gone right. As time goes on I'm convinced that that was the correct strategy. Offer them the narrative that billionaires are screwing us. we all deserve better. we deserve health care. we deserve to have comfortable and happy retirements starting at 50. And in the time frame from the early 20s to our '50s we should be able to earn more than enough to have a house, a happy life, and save up for our retirement.
If people have children they deserve government subsidies because those children are going to contribute to the country, and without them we would have no future.
Every American deserves to be fed and housed. Because we are the greatest country. The only thing stopping us is the greed of the ruling class of the billionaires.
We're going to regulate social media like broadcast media. We will fine and tax these parasites into submission. They will provide a service that is valuable to the American people or they will cease to exist.
By law reverse the Dodd-Frank ruling and make it so that anyone accepting donations from a foreign nation is committing an act of treason, and that all who aided in abetted the transaction in any way shape or form are also guilty.
Give the right to vote in a presidential election to the people of Washington DC.
Leave all medical decisions up to patients and their physicians and out of the hands of government.
Ban for profit entities from running medical institutions or from administrating insurance companies.
We will make a clear and transparent path to citizenship for all immigrants that pass screenings and meet requirements. This path will be discussed with and built in part with business leaders and local governments to ensure that it benefits everyone.
That is how the Democrats could have galvanized and won and I think the shame is that they don't want to give up the money that's going to come along with that.
Also don't forget to enfranchise Puerto Rico along with DC.
