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

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.

So... seriously, the Democrats are not even going to try to stop the Republicans who are actively overthrowing the government, but are instead just going to try to make them look bad enough that they can hopefully gain some seats in 2026 running as "not the Republicans?"
Well, then here's the definitive answer to the recurring question of "will the Democrats learn anything from 2024?"
No. No they won't.
Honestly, I’m wondering who collapses first- republicans or democrats.
Right now it looks like it’s gonna be dems, because at least half them are willing to sit at the table with fucking Nazis.
They seem to think they can just keep their heads down and it’ll blow over.
They’ve been letting the republicans nibble off bits and bobs for decades and seem to think this bullshit will just end.
The good news is… it will. But first all the immigrants, the lgbtq+ (starting with trans,); all the progressives and educated people will have been killed off.
And no. I’m not exaggerating. That’s the way fascism works. They keep blaming scapegoats until there’s nothing left and then the fascists fracture, blaming each other.

I'm sure it'll work out for the Dems. Keep trying to reach across the aisle with fucking Nazis.
you have 10 people at a table with 1 nazis, you have 11 nazis. that's how it works. either you oppose them, or you join them. Silently keeping your head down is not an option.
we're rapidly approaching the whole point where they conceived of the second amendment being necessary.
1000% agree. I have a family member that was saying we need to work together. She's getting her masters in social work to work high level on the homeless crisis. She got super missed when I called her out on that. Few weeks latter she loses her grant thanks to doge and then she gets double pissed when I point out they did exactly what they said they would do. Fuck Nazis.
I'm hoping it's Democrats, than an actual party representing to working class in government can take its place. There's no room in government for two right wing parties.
It's hard for them to run on, not the Republicans, when they keep trying to mirror what Republicans are doing.
