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!

Yikes.
I swear US Democrats learn absolutely nothing. All you have to do is jingle some keys in their faces and they'll applaud.
This is a guy who wants California Cities to force homeless people to move every 3 days. This is a guy who has threatened to cut funding to cities that don't "crack down" on homeless people.
This is a guy who simply has one of his interns to write funny twitter posts and NOW he's suddenly "presidential material".
And some people honestly wonder how Trump was re-elected.
No. Fuck no. Hell the fuck no. He can keep doing his attack dog shit, that's fine he IS NOT presidential material. He is not what this conversation ntry needs to fix the shit Republicans have deliberately broken.
he's not even the one doing it. Camille Zapata is. We should support her running for president.
He can keep doing his attack dog shit
That is exactly the kind of person we need to win elections though.

Not a huge fan but glad to see he's making waves against MAGA.
To everyone complaining: this is the fucking primary. This is when you bring out your leftist candidate that can represent us against literal fascists.
Stop fucking whining and do something about it before it's too late, Newsom wins the primary, and we all have to listen to you whine for another goddamn decade about how Democrats don't represent us.
Until the Democratic Party just ignores primary results they don't like.
Or they're like sinema and change completely after getting in office

Traitorapist Trump is that you? It sure sounds like you. I'm so sick of your ridiculous bullshit.

VP maybe. Good attack dog. All I'm hearing from the actual left is "wwaaahhh this guy isn't insane-left enough, we want the lunatic fringe!". Ok, well...get running someone, don't wait until half way through the primaries to sit there and whine and divide the party. (Yes, I know that is the point for some folks like CCP-shills and other bad actors, but ACTUAL leftist Americans should be acting and promoting NOW)

It's unsurprising Newsom is leading, given all the media coverage he's been given.
Anyway, any poll result now for 2028 is meaningless. A lot's going to happen between now and then, and non-centrist candidates will probably emerge, and possibly do well.

He's been earning it lately.
