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!

Nothing will meaningfully improve until the rich fear for their lives
They fear leftism (even if it is democratic, moderate, they even hate new deal capitalism designed to save them from themselves ffs) more than fascism, that's the issue. Even most dems.
We beat nazis before and we will beat them again.
Da, kamarad
Aah, yes. Remember when Germany failed to adequately deal with a traitor who attempted a coup, who then came back and took power again? Yeah.
Well, we did put him in jail, at least.
That is true. The US didn't even bother to go that far.
Although that gave him the time to start Mein Kamph.
Little known fact, his first biography centered on his chronic jock itch, but it was not popular: Mein Kamphor
Later he would write about how he didn’t stretch properly and his calf muscles would tighten up in Mein Krampf
Elon Musk is a Nazi
And you chose not to do enough when it mattered the most. Remember that.
And she continues to not do anything. I think the lesson here is that she would have made a bad president. Look at AOC, look at Bernie. But the d’s don’t want them (ie: Bernie 2016 and AOC not getting picked for a position that was given to a dude that just died)
Stop blaming the obvious (and admitted to) cheating on non-voters. Even if we all voted, he still would've won by a Starlink landslide.
It's not just Elon Musk, it's people just like him (if more discrete) and the system that allowed them to get so absurdly wealthy and powerful, which Kamala Harris and her ilk have no intention of changing.
The d’s are standing on the sidelines watching it happen because they want this to happen.
the guest of honour at the 2025 Australian Real Estate Conference
Thanks for your hard work in taking up the fight comrade. 07
Still better than Goldman Sachs, Blackrock or Google..
She could make a lot more money in New York City or San Francisco. The simple fact she is going all the way to Australia to speak to Australian realtors means she is paying very close attention to how her actions are perceived.
You do realize Australians can't vote in the US election, right? Why the hell is she wasting time over here? We don't want her.
Please please please dear democrats, as a European I’m begging you to select a candidate that can take it up with trump, doesn’t have dementia and I’m sorry to say that in your case it has to be male one. America just isn’t ready for a female president. Don’t fuck it up. Sincerely, a concerned European.
Two of the worst female politicians losing on uninspiring neoliberal campaigns is not an indication of whether a woman can win.
Best we can do is Gavin Newsom. Democratic leadership is brain dead ATM.
Fuck you. Gimme Pritzker. He'd mop the floor with anything the GOP puts up.
He can probably win pretty easily. I'll take it.
This isn't the fucking time to let perfect be the enemy of good enough.
Newsom isn't even liked in his home state. Republicans wont ever vote for a Democrat, and he's had a long history of "Rules for thee, not for me." Plus his mishandling of homeless issues, his platforming of right wing grifters on his podcast, and just general insufferable way of handling most issues is a turn off for anyone with compassion.
Newsome would absolutely lose.
He's insufferable.
Newsom is good enough like Biden was good enough in 2020. Everyone is learning the wrong lessons.
He won in 2020.
Due to COVID and a mass push for mail-in voting. If COVID wasn't a thing, Biden probably would have lost.
Sorry mate, there won’t be a 2028.
Wealth is poison. It corrupts these simpletons and makes the world a worse place.
And Kamala should just chill. She didn't have the guts to be herself. She's a pathetic advocate against Trump and these billionaire cack suckers.
What, you weren't impressed by the Joy theme?
Is she not part of the world?
