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!

The system works
When are you going to endorse Zohran and new bloods of couragous young democrats trying to reshape the party?
When they pry the party from his cold dead hands
Wheeew boy. I just spent some time in progressive politics and jeez. They literally say Obama is the SAME level of evil as Hitler and Kamala is FAR right. This place seems so much more realistic.
That’s because it’s not actually for progressive politics in that com, but for making you feel like you don’t fit.
The voting machines now in Republican control are a give away that they will rig the elections. We should have the UN look at how the ballots are processed in this coming election just to be sure.
Rig the next one? Like they already haven’t done that before. Just ask Elon.
I love how the majority of comments here didn't even read the whole headline, let alone the article, before confidently spouting whatever they already thought.
Maybe it's just me but it almost seems like OP was trying to make this title seem bad as if it's not the truth.
I like how it’s still “accuses” and is not “confirming” after all the actions taken by project 2025 ghouls to rig the election since orange man waddled back up to the white house
Chairman mayo
Not just the next one, but every future one.
I'm expecting them to pull some bullshit that lets them "postpone" the election when the time comes.
Holy shit, the number of whiney comments crying about Newsom when the ad is about prop 50 is staggering.
I would think that people were illiterate if they didn't read "Newsom" and start blindly frothing at the mouth.
Recognizing names is far from literate, a 4 year old can do that easy. In fact illiteracy almost necessitates that you be able to recognize names and symbols and be able to associate a feeling with it to navigate the world. This name hurts me, avoid. This other symbol brings me pleasure, engage. So navigating by emotion rather than reason.
Reading the comments, it seems a lot of people here are totally fine to make good the enemy of perfect and repeat history all over again.
Enjoy the fascism folks. We’re in it for the long haul it seems.
People want more people lime Zohran. Where is Zohran endorsment? Enjoy facism folks

I’ve been watching republicans do illegal things my entire life. Nobody has ever stopped them
Some judges have.
Some people like the ACLU and Marc Elias have.
Etc.
Stopped all illegal things they do? No. But many real people have stopped many real things.

Until FPTP becomes Proportional Representation I will assume all current and previous us presidents have/are Rigging The Next Election.
I mean, you're right, just for the wrong reasons.
Elections are rigged through disenfranchisement, misinformation, and gerrymander. FPTP isn't an issue when the people on the ballot are all corporate flaks.
All this astrofurfing and campaigning for Newsom is just a proactive effort to preempt any radical voices from gaining traction from the anti-Trump momentum. That’s the top of their agenda right now, institutional integrity and democracy is at best second.
this has little to do with campaigning for newsom… it’s about supporting the counter to republican gerrymandering
you might be right in general, but this is not that context
