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.

I think AOC is awesome and I think she’d do great work as like pres/vp, but I like that she’s a representative too. She keeps the focus on congress and does a good job of showing people that it’s not just the president that matters. I’d totally vote for her if she ran for president/vp but I also would like it if she just became a congressional leader (like official minority leader or leader of a new party) for actual progressives in congress. I don’t know if that all made sense, but basically I’m trying to say that people don’t have to keep aiming higher. She does and can continue to do good work in congress and that’s just as important as presidential work
honey, congress doesn't matter. unitary executive is pretty clearly the thing they're all running with.
I know that congress is useless, but it’s not supposed to be. That’s why I like AOC being a prominent house rep and why I think it’d be great if we could primary out these old “democrats” (that just vote with the republicans half the time anyways) and elect progressives like AOC so that congress will actually work for the people and be a check on the executive power so that we don’t have any more presidents like this in the future… if we have a future
and I know windows is horrible to use, but it's not SUPPOSED to be.
I still use arch.
AOC was in the fucking CIA. so maybe grain of salt. I'm ready for her to pull an obama. if you're old enough to remember him before he was president.
fuck the dems. fuck primaries. fuck that party forever. fuck them. never forgive. it's not like there's gonna be real elections again, anyway. anonymous says even this latest one was bullshit, and I already low key believed that. please stop clinging to your lib shit fantasies.
we are so far past 'progressives' and gentle adjustments. the world is on fire, and we've been letting it burn for decades. we have a deep infection of fascism. if you want life on earth to survive, we need radical shit. you will not get that by voting.
im not saying don't vote. im saying you won't get another chance. i'm saying it's too late to fix stuff like that. I'm saying maybe carter was your last real shot at fixing things by voting for gentle mild changes.
