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!

Just classic establishment Dems here: attacking a wildly popular policy and supporting a corrupt sex offender to avoid fascists calling you a commie.
Uh... yes? Is this their idea of spinning things in an unfavorable light? I guess this is the one time we can be glad establishment Dems are woefully out of touch.
Any attack ad or article on Zohran always makes me want to vote for him harder
Dems aren't out of touch, they are Republican Lites, and always have been. The Dem leadership need to be purged, and the party re-branded.
Don't you see what kind of slippery slope this is? What's next? Affordable housing? Free healthcare??
A living wage? Fair taxes on Sociopathic Oligarchs? Enforcement of the Emoluments Clause? Enforcement of the 14th Amendment/ Section 3? Criminal trials for Traitors?
Which they will still do.
Exactly. Why do they worry what fucking TRAITORS think?
Iirc Third Way literally is a fascist expression (Mussolini?) and Hilary Rodham Clinton resurrected it, so it's horrible policy.
My son is a mid 20-something, and extremely politically astute (I raised him that way), and none of his friends have that knee-jerk response to communism or socialism. The current system has been so bad, and getting worse, throughout their entire lives, that they don't understand why we're trying to save it. They'd just as soon try something different, considering what the current system has led to.
