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.

Listen, we can't just both sides this. You're either with the Democrats or you're having sex with Vladimir Putin. Do you want to be called a traitor by a guy on the Internet? Then quit repeating this far left America hating propaganda and VOTE
It's weird people didn't get the sarcasm dripping from this.
This stuff was said unironically a few months ago so it is hard to detect.
In any case the current crop of DNC Democrats are showing that they refuse to abandon their donors (which are Republicans) even if it means another GOP win. They will do anything to prevent the left from winning.
I remember seeing opinions like yours being super popular here pre-election. Really happy seeing the tides changing.
I remember saying I wasn't voting for Harris on account of the genocide, and I got bombarded with "You are literally murdering the Palestinians with your bare hands by saying this" replies.
I mean, if I have to choose between a genocidal neoliberal and a genocidal fascist, I'll take the neoliberal.
What I really want to know is why can't we have a party with popular, mainstream, progressive policies? Just sitting here hoping that Mamdani can hammer some sense into those morons.
Because you keep critically supporting neoliberals in place of the left.
The turds already inside the DNC forcefully eject anyone with a chance of being liberal. By the time I have a voice my choices are curated into irrelevancy.
So, the same reason I have a dog and not a unicorn.
no, its the reason that dog hates you and gives you that disappointed look that lets you know that he thinks you're an idiot.
Populism isn't electable.
Obviously, this was a fluke. It's just a Dem primary so it doesn't count. NYC is different, you don't understand. Iran rigged the election. .
It's my fault for wanting the Democratic candidate to win , but also pointing out that she wouldn't be doing so if she didn't come out in opposition Israel. That means it's my fault the greens got 1/10th of a percent of votes and 6 million Democrats didn't show up (who I guess, should have just voted Green last election, since Democrats weren't going to pivot to a winning position anyways. at least then they'd be an opposition party for 2026/ 28)
DNC is are colluding with the guy having sex with Putin while resisting the DSA who don't think that's a great idea.
But sure, the left is crazy. Have fun with the Trump-Cuomo alliance.
And you better get used to it because it’s clearly never going to change, ya filthy hippies
