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!

She knows what she's doing. Obvious spoiler campaign.
If you read the article, it's actually about the Green New Deal, which was the same issue she ran on in 2012 and 2016. You know, climate change. That issue that the Republicans don't think is real and the Democrats don't take seriously.
Of course - and siphoning progressive voters from practical opposition to Trump is going to help the climate a great deal.
the Democrats don't own the votes. they need to earn the votes.
Someone doesn't understand game theory.
I do. I also know that it doesn't reflect either how people should or actually do make decisions.
Stein needs to earn them too. I see no reason why I should give my vote to someone who boosts pseudoscience. She's welcome to start trying at any time.
3rd party's don't siphon votes. We wouldn't vote for your BlueMAGA pieces of shit if they were the only ones in the ballot
The same act that leases off land in the Gulf the size of Italy for drilling? How's that act working out for us? Everything is still unaffordable and our wages are still stagnant
It's predicted to cut emissions by 35-40%+ by 2030, compared to 2005 numbers.
Domestic oil drilling makes us more energy independent, which means other countries have less leverage to push their interests on the US. Correctly 4% of Americans own electric cars. It's going to take a LONG time to change that and until then we need oil. Biden is taking steps to encourage the US to move away from gas cars. The plan included huge investments for solar, wind, and for building a nationwide electric charging grid.
Inflation is down so prices are not rising anymore. People seem to have the unrealistic expectation that prices are somehow going to go back to what they were before COVID.
Unemployment is below 3% in a record number of states and the national unemployment level is below 4% for the longest period in 50 years. 13.2 million jobs have been added. Sure, things could be better, but don't forget how much worse off we started.
Ah yes, 2016
When she divided democratic votes.
How did that go again?
