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 DNC is making deals to fund the secret police force that'll be used against them. It's fucking stupid.
I feel like this describes the DNC's relationship with American people too well.
I think this is more applicable to the Republicans though it’s not completely unwarranted for your DNC statement.
But when they win, it'll be their police force! And if they don't support it, the Swing MAGA Voter can't be persuaded to support them when they campaign on "Release The Epstein Files" in October.
You just don't understand what it takes to win elections, unlike a liberal party that runs Perfect Campaigns. If they don't win in 2026, it'll be your fault.
But logically, if they don’t win, it is your fault.
How else are they supposed to win, by trying to steal votes? Suppress them like Donald Cunt is actively doing?
Don’t fret, though. The dems are adept at bending to Republic卐n will by now, the spineless fucks.
California's giving this a shot with their gerrymandering initiative. Probably the smartest thing a blue state legislature has tried in decades.
It's not even "bending to the Republicans" so much as "getting money from the same six trillionaires and their lobbyists".
Like, you want to pretend this is a Red State / Blue State problem, but the bluest blotches in the country are home to some of the most prolific reactionary mega-donors. NYC, Chicago, LA, Seattle, Houston... They're all pock marked with board rooms full of ice-chewing fascist psychos.
I think their post is more a critique about how the DNC fails to capture the interest of their electorate by supporting more moderate policies and refusing to actually dismantle the systems that create the oppression and exploitation in an attempt to woo a mythical moderate Republican that just doesn't exist.
