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!

Quit trying to make Newsome happen
It's really fucking tone deaf to push a Zionist in the face of cratering support for Israel among Democratic voters.
But then the Democratic party has a history of being tone deaf, like Biden picking Kamala "top cop" Harris for vp during the height of the George Floyd protests.
Biden won, but these stunts often fail.
If someone isn't capable of making the easy call to be against genocide, then they absolutely can't be trusted to be defenders of democracy.
We gotta quit pretending it's about this one issue or that one issue. Over and over again we see that there are politicians committed to fighting for what's right, and there are politicians who aren't. That's it. That's the line. The politicians that sell out to AIPAC are selling out to big tech, to Wall Street, to the military industrial complex, etc.
Yes, Obama, who was okay, bombing people in the middle east, many of which were innocent, doesn't care about the, innocent people, in the US.
If they care, they should be in the front line protesting the shit show of the ICE. They are the one that cannot be touch by Trump and his government. He is the one who doesn't fear losing his life nor does he fear losing his income.
These people are out of touch, they hope Trump do as much damage so they can get voted in without the need to listen to their voters.
It is like a divorce kid, where both parents are abuser. One of which doesn't abuse you as much as knows that the other is worst.
People and Unions should break this abusive cycle.
