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 mean, it's a day that ends in Y so of course the Democrats have a messaging problem.
Democrats: BUT THE ECONOMY IS BETTER!! Shut up with your ignorant "bad economy" THE STOCK MARKET IS UP!! Yeah yeah a single person spends almost $100/week on groceries not even enough to last the week and wages haven't moved much for low earners unless I aggregate as many sectors as possible and show a compiled list of averages, BUT THE STOCK MARKET!! So what if your wage didn't increase much, the chart says it did!!!
Also Democrats: how are we tone deaf?
Seriously though, it would be funny if it wasn’t handing the greatest military power the world has ever seen over to fascism.
If someone's spending $100/wk. in groceries, they're not even trying. My wife and I spend about $130 every 2-weeks.
$132 last trip and that included steaks and shrimp.
... I have limited options. I buy a family pack of chicken (the cheapest they have, no organic anything) a can of beans, a can of mixed vegetables and a can of mushrooms for a weeks worth of lunch. I get a pack of romaine lettuce, a tomato and an onion for a "weeks worth" of dinner. I also get a weeks worth of cat food. The only "extras" is milk. No snacks, no dessert, nothing extra. Where I live that's $80-100 depending on if I need things like garbage bags or dressing.
Are you in a rich area?! Food's quite cheap if we shop around, hit the crappy grocery stores, but mostly we do Aldi.
Where I am it's "rural" enough that I only have 2 options within 30-40 mins of my house and they're both similarly priced. I'd have to go about an hour to somewhere that might have better prices, but I rent a garage "apartment" so I can't buy bulk as I don't have a freezer and my refrigerator was apparently pulled from a camper or something. It's like a playschool "babys first refrigerator" lol
The messaging being that the top of the Democratic Party needs to start listening to everyone instead of just their Wall St donor friends.
Does the DNC use a PR agency or is it just their internal PR people?
