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!

Says one of the neoliberal shitbags drowning the DNC with their latent conservatism. Suuuure. We'll all just shut the fuck up and keep our heads down so you can continue your addiction to insider trading.
Neoliberals are the cancer of the DNC. The change needs to start with widespread primaries featuring the goddamned public. Bartenders, mechanics, grocery clerks... I trust all of them to represent my best interests over a fucking neoliberal millionaire.
There are valid things to criticize Elizabeth Warren for, but she's not a neoliberal. Either you don't know anything about her, or you don't know what that word means.
Bullshit. She is a multi-millionaire neoliberal dressed as a progressive. I've held my nose and backed her in the past because she was the most progressive person available at that moment, but she is no AOC or Bernie (who she attacked in a primary for no fucking reason).
I am so fucking tired of neoliberal cockroaches insisting their way into the left zeitgeist, poisoning our ability to identify actual progressives. I will still support her when she is the most progressive person to choose, but I will not let her off the fucking hook for being a neoliberal. Our party needs to insist on better.
Right, so you don't know what the word means. Got it.
