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!

Reconstruct?
Raize it with impunity and forge something actually good
The Party for Socialism and Liberation is attempting to do just that.
I applied a while back to no response. Although the nearest chapter is 2 hours away to be fair. They do great work though from what I hear.
If it was during COVID, I have been informed by current members that they had a bunch of issues and have since rectified the application process. If you are still interested, I have been told the best thing is to re-apply, if you don't get a response this time then it's safe to drop it.
Those are powerful words historically misused in America. Isn't that a risky name to go with?
Not at all. By wiping away the piles of slander and lies proudly, Socialists can better connect with historical socialists and communists.
No, the historical socialists are dead and buried. You need to engage with the workers where they're at, and where they're at is "brainwashed by tears of anti communist propaganda to the point of pavlovian triggers". Imo the least you can do is not use those specific words front and center.
Um, sorry, given how much terms have been perverted here, you might as well call them the Party For Pedophilia and Terrorism as far as trying to sell this to average Americans.
I mean, people still cannot even understand inflation. Imagine more than a century of propaganda and trying to overcome that.
I mean I think it could change faster than you'd think.
It used to be nearly impossible to be openly gay and live a normal life. In a relatively short time that has radically changed.
Cultural norms and taboos are not as permanent as they seem in the moment.
