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!

If AIPAC gets a special ban, then different groups with their own least favorite will ask why we aren't banning that one, and billionaire owned media will say the DNC supports that.
The only logical solution that doesn't waste a shit ton of time and effort, is to blanket ban all of them at once.
They don't have infinite time and energy waste on shit. The more individual ones moving, the slower the one that abns everyone moves...
The votes that just happened were at the committee level...
After that it goes to all voting members.
Expect a statement after that vote.
The DNC has released nothing about either, because they never do until after the full vote.
Like, I think your confusion is you think the DNC was making any announcements about this stuff, when it was just the billionaire owned media from CNN to Faux News all "independently" releasing the same stories almost verbatim within minutes of each other.
Can you honestly not see how this is a hot job against the DMC because the people who control the media no longer control the DNC?
So just boils down to we don't want to cut off the money spigot and can blame others for that
That would make sense if we've seen a single thing from the dnc that shows it's changed at all.
I've seen more from those within the dnc either happy with this decision or fucking disappointed than from CNN or Fox News. You can't keep blaming the billionaires for the dnc constant failures
