Of course it is. The old guard doesn't know any other way, and they refuse tob learn. Maybe they should have listened to David Hogg rather than drummed him out to appease the olds.

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!

What a fucking stupid plan...for fuck sake copying the Nazi plan is so lame and cringe
“a Dem[ocratic] message disconnected from left-wing groups,” with one person who’s involved texting him that “the groups are the Achilles Heel of the Deomcratic Party [sic].”
Lol
We are so fucked.
ETA: the one-two punch of Reagan-Clinton (with a Reagan-lite thrown inbetween) will go down as the most destructive period in US history. People today screaming apocalypse over Trump dont know how much we lost in that 20 year period of pure, unmitigated middle-class hatred. Truly the most avoidable and most severe downfall of an empire in history.
Well. It'll be hard to top the 260s, and the Third Century Crisis in general.
Not really. There's no way Dems don't sweet midterms and stop Trump in his tracks. He's probably not leaving office alive one way or another. We just need better candidates to take the next steps is the problem.
There are too many Democrats who don't dislike fascism that much, because it's less inconvenient to them than socialism. The situation needs a party that's actually motivated to combat the fascists.
Jbfc, they’re all ghoulish caricatures. How tf are they real people? They must be gaining something by tanking the DNC.
The world of 2025 is not the same one of decades earlier: Americans don’t like the undue influence of corporate power; they want their government to do more for them; they’re tired of war; they’ve been devastated by decades of offshoring and austerity; and, as they have made repeatedly clear, they’re not fans of the Clinton family.
The Republicans cover several of these points.
Voters also care about crime and immigration.
What the democratic elite doesn’t get is the working class has more socially conservative values.
I would argue that they aren't more conservative, they are in a bad place and looking for someone with answers. The Democrats have essentially preached status quo for the last decade. Many working class voters look at where they are and look at the party looking to keep things the same, and they either vote for the other party or don't vote at all.
If someone was to offer non-fascist solutions to the problems most of the working class are having, I suspect we would be talking about how the working class has swung left.
I am not saying conservatives are the right choice for the working class by any means, but the perception by many is that they are looking to break the status quo in a world where most people feel like they are worse off than they could be.
Oh hey look at that, another SJW user out in the wild doing fascist apologia. That sure is an odd trend they have going on over there with the nazi memes and apologetics. Is that the "working class" instance for the "socially conservative" or just a coincidence?
...stop being okay with people fucking kids...
