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!

ah yes it's the dems fault nobody credible decided to run
It sort of was?
Bernie Sanders had a great chance to face Trump for the 2016 elections, and the democrat media had a horrible campaign against him while favoring Hillary Clinton. Then, once Hillary got the nomination, surprise!!! correspondence came to light in which those at the top in the party said that Sanders should absolutely NOT have the nomination.
I'm a liberal dude, but I'm also very cynical of the U.S. political system. At the very top, those assholes love a "good" status quo.
i like bernie but bernie couldn't win outside of the coasts in a primary let alone a general.
hillary clinton had spent decades in the democratic party; bernie sanders hadn't. of course hillary would have more delegates and history over sanders; doesn't mean it was rigged or anything.
I understand it wasn't rigged, but if Trump getting into power taught is anything is that the media played a major role to have her win the nomination. That's my point.
Though come to think of it, maybe the Russians had their hand in it as well.
