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!

I don't know about you all but I'm still feelin' the Bern...
I think I will always have lots of empathy and admiration for him. He was and is someone who's actions show character and who's character is genuinely rooted in trying to help the populace.
If there was a way to traverse dimensions to one where things went right for his election, I'd go there. The one we're in just...sucks.
Bernie's emails are worth subscribing to imo. He's sending out stuff railing on citizens united with the tone of "yeah yeah, crazy ol Bernie on it again. Well guess what, it's still a big fuckin problem"
Always will. He is too old to run but I believe we will not see another politician like him in our lives. Regardless of you views on his policies you cannot deny that he cares about others and is doing what he believes is best for all humans.
There are plenty of good and charismatic people. Political systems are wired to filter them out.
I think Larry Lessig is not too old. His political focus is a bit less gigantic and heroic than Bernie's, but in a bit longer term may cause enormous positive changes if applied.
I hope not. We need more like him.
We must continue his legacy... https://youtu.be/ZlZaVtCT5HI
~~Bern, Switzerland~~ wait, wrong one
