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!

plus, they are 100% responsible for Trump, they were told supporting a genocide would cost them the election to Trump, they decided to continue the genocide and lose. they are out of touch and corrupt.
That is just such a skewed view, and completely disconnected from real politics.
You are letting perfect stand in the way of progress. It's moronic, and considering the alternative was Trump, it was outright insane to not try to prevent him from achieving power.
It's insane that such an idiotic viewpoint is so widespread, and look where it got USA! And also look where it got the Palestinians! Do you really believe Democrats would have allowed it to go this far?
democrats allowing it to get that far?
are you fucking insane? have you read any news during the past couple years?
they absolutely did.
Failing to stop Republicans under false pretense, is not the same as actually being the Republicans who are doing all the nasty deeds. You have to be an idiot not to see that.
do they even want to stop republicans? they are neoliberals after all. stop licking their boots. them voted to fuck over healthcare. they are as responsible for this mess.
I understand your frustration, but in a binary system like the American, you have to go for the lesser evil, if you want improvements you must join that party and work on it from within.
The lesser evil is not your enemy, the Republicans are, and quite frankly religion is too. Because it's always the Christians that swing the vote to Republicans. Just look at the Hispanic, they freaking vote Republican because they are fanatic Catholics!! MAGA without the Christians would have been nothing. Israel support without the Christians would be way more balanced to favor the Palestinians.
Put the blame where it belongs, instead of the at most tertiary factor it is to be a Democrat.
no, voting dems is not even close to fix this. we need to remove every single neolib from the party, like Mamdani did, the dems did all in their power to not support him, yet he won without a single compromise. dems hated that. he isn't even a dem, and the DSA is growing and knows how to play the two party system and win.
the party needs to be overhauled.
and that's just the political system, we need more mutual aids and community help.
if you think casting a vote for dems will fix anything you are a moron
Yes and you need to vote in the dems before that has any impact. Work on that part from the inside of the party. It's your only democratic option ATM.
you can't fix the party from the inside, Bernie is the perfect cautionary tale.
they'll let you talk and pretend they are as progressive as you, but not support any of your popular policies because it goes against the corporate donors.
you can prinary non democrats, but you can't fix it from the inside.
