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!

And the party will keep moving further right…
If leftists don’t vote for the candidate furthest to the left because they “aren’t left enough”. Then the party will replace those votes by appealing to those to the right.
Implying they've done anything other than run to the right and ignoring voters on the left?
Well if the left doesn't turnout to vote. If course they're going to go right to try and get the voters who actually vote. And it seems the right votes more consistently then the left.
The right has the option of 2 parties, of course they vote more than the ones without a party
Election results have proven that leftists aren’t the majority. Politicians are beholden to the voters not leftists.
Yes that's why the dnc does their best to always avoid or force out any left like candidates.
When has the dnc run or allowed a leftist candidate to run?
That’s not how it works. Leftists won’t be “allowed” to take over the DNC. Voters will need to create the political will to run leftists. There hasn’t been enough demand for leftists candidates. There are enough examples of leftists wining primaries and losing elections to prove that.
Prove it then. Don't just say it can be done, do it.
Citations please
Like Kamala did?
The Dems would rather wait until enough Republicans get fed up with the MAGA Nazi incompetence enough to vote Democrat, than actually be a true opposition, or leftist, party.
The majority of voters chose Trump. Unfortunately that’s how a democracy works.
