Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. 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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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!

They need to announce the formation of a new party

Due to political entrenchment it's more reasonable to change the DNC from within.

[–] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 14 points 2 days ago

Due to entrenchment it’s exactly why nothing changes from within.

[–] ClassStruggle@lemmy.ml 17 points 2 days ago (7 children)

The ones that are in charge will not allow anyone that is a threat to their authority or power to mount any attempt to change the party.

Thinking like this is why you are where you are with all those nukes. Form a party. Let more parties form. Ditch MSM and CSM (Centralised Social Media) and let the people decide.

If you want to have a country without kings, you need to be prepared to have absolutely no daddy on any front, including parties and media.

What about Nukes, exactly?

Maybe announcing a new party is premature, but at least talking about steps to realistically forming one would be huge. We need a revolutionary overhaul of our 2-party political system, and I posit that most Americans, those that voted and those who didn't, would agree that 2 bad options is not a real choice.

The binary creates the illusion of choice.

Bernie is already 3rd party

[–] BossDj@lemm.ee 8 points 2 days ago

Then we need a fourth! /s

[–] randon31415@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Because that worked so well with the Reform party in the UK.

[–] madjo@feddit.nl 4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Well... Considering that following the election, it was the third largest party by popular vote... It worked wonders for the Reform Party.

[–] randon31415@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

Which means it has the third largest number of representatives, right?

We need more of this! We need more of a movement!

[–] finitebanjo@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I'm sure there are lots of ASU fans here but personally I don't trust them.

[–] 13igTyme@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

Guess I'm out of the loop, what's wrong with ASU?
