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!

Still waiting on people to wise up that Martin is actually legit.
The dude knows what he's doing
Maybe so but the majority of the rest of the Democrats have no fucking clue what they're doing and actively undermine anything the minority of Democrats and progressives do to effectively oppose these fascists.
Decades of neoliberals shenigans have conflated "the party" with individual elected representatives
That was never how it was supposed to work
We just took a big step in fixing that. Martin doesn't play favorites, the winner of the primary is who the party will support, and they're not gonna pick sides till a primary is over.
The only reason a lot of those elected representatives are even still in office is the party fought off primary challengers for decades protecting them. They can't win fair primaries, even with the money advantage
They know exactly what they are doing: stroking off the corporate money spigots.
Takes easy shots for internet points while maintaining the status quo and not trying for any actual improvements
The Dems are legit and got it figured out now!

That better for you?
An article saying they're taking in more private money and giving it to their state reps? Without any mention of policy or government planning?
No actually, can't really put my finger on why, but that really doesn't do it for me.
No, to state parties...
The state parties that neoliberals spent almost a decade bankrupty thru the victory fund.
Like, it's not writing checks to politicians, it's paying staffers to work starting now instead of waiting till six months before an election.
Turning those into full time permanent positions, and a venue for an average working class person to become involved in politics.
I'm sorry you don't understand how this is a big deal, so feel free to keep asking questions. It might help someone else who sees it too.
