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!

Hooray another sack of shit politician attempting to derail from real issues
“Everyone you mentioned has a lot of words, but what have they actually done to change the situation with Donald Trump and the cuts and the attacks on our judiciary and the attacks on our Constitution?” asked Slotkin, who claimed her responsibilities fighting Trump’s government cuts forced her “to be more than just an AOC.”
Fair.
“I can’t do what she does because we live in a purple state, and I’m a pragmatist,” she concluded.

Support working class people and idealism. THAT Is what the dems need to do, win over the middle\right folks that can't stand the MAGA shit and want their real country back, not some perverted fucked up version the GOP would like to create.

Put her near the top of the list to be primaried.
Who gives a shit about some stupid label the MAGAt morons have come up with??? Fascism needs to go! That should be the resounding message here!
Get her out, outdated mindset.
What the actual fuck are they thinking?
I think I used to know what "woke" meant, and I thought it was a good thing to be "woke" but the word seems to be used in different ways by different people. Closest thing I've seen to actual "doublespeak" yet. To be clear, I thought woke meant "to be aware" or "to know you need to learn more about certain issues". Education and learning is good for the society (not so good for an authoritarian leader though).
Punt her.
My favorite part was focusing on Trump taking away democracy. Putting Kamala forward, a candidate no one wanted, voted for, or liked. Protecting DuMOcRAsy!
Can you tell us you have been purchased by the oligarchy without telling us?
End "woke"? So let Republicans shred all DEI? That's not just trans/gay, it's anti racial discrimination, it is help and protection for the disabled ... hell, it is the very laws that make ramps and elevators required for the disabled.
Yes, I might be talked into agreeing that democrats have to tone down "the message" so Republicans cannot use it as a hate rallying cry ... but the goals are still there. The evil fascist stuff this admin has done must be reversed, and these people all need to be in jail for insider trading by ping-ponging the economy.
