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!

You better start finding a better candidate bro before the lesser evil is nominated then.
You can't complain about what is happening around you unless you give a solution.
AOC
Hear hear! I hope she gets to be the next nominate.
It's so funny how people get all up in arms defending shitbag neolibs as if they have no other option when the democratic socialist are literally right there.
People like the guy you responded to are why we keep losing, fucking crabs in a bucket.
There's MANY better candidates. Problem is the actual good ones would never dream of aligning themselves with either major party. It's why everything needs to be nuked from orbit.
This is the stupidest take, give me one reason why? Am I also not allowed to complain about the rising cancer rates without giving a solution for those? I sure as shit better not hear you complain about AI ever again unless you can tell me how to fix it too. And global warming? Better just shut the fuck up about it until you personally have a plan on how to fix that.
All this phrase is is a cudgel to shut up people you don't want to have to address.
Your downvoters are weirdly quiet, almost like they have nothing substantial to reply with
Yes you can complain and should complain, probably louder. Have fun licking boot, people like you are why we got Trump.
Be the change you want to see, complain all you want but all you are doing is setting yourself and the world around you for more complaining.
(Spoilers for disco elysium) You remind me of that disco elysium communist ending, where all the comrades end up wasting their lives complaining about the bourgeoisie without actually doing anything about it, getting drunk every night each taking turns judging which sickly misery inducing rant was the most powerful.
"Be the change you want to see"
All I've seen you do is shut down conversation with bullshit about how neolibs are our only option.
Is that what you want to see?
People on their highhorse bullshit like this is exactly how we wound up with trump.
Real world is the levellers and the diggers and good ol' Oliver Cromwell.
Everyone complaining. Everyone calling for change. King killed. No one had a plan for after.
Systems will only change if there is an environment conducive of that change.
I would argue Obama knows this. Change is incremental.
