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!

Bro I just want some more bombs, please bro come on, I won't even do anything with them bro
The left: we only want universal health care and education! Also the left: *spends inflated billions on high performance environmentally friendly children massacring missiles.
Democrats aren’t left
Just a slightly more informed right. 👍
We need a rubber-band snap back of the Overton Window in America. Right-wing media has skewed the perception of politics to such an extent that conservatism is fascism and center-left is genuine conservatism.
America would be so much better off if all the centrist Dems and "mOdErAtE" Republicans like Kissinger and Cheney and Romney, et. al. made the Dems the new conservative party while a new genuine Social Democrat or Green Party (not astroturfed by Republicans, Koch Brothers, or Russian interests) filled the void of a genine progressive-leftist faction.
Okay but they have no incentive to do any of that and instead have monetary incentive to shift right
Do participate in bringing ranked choice voting to your state if you want a shift left in the USA. Competition will force the shift you are looking for
From what I've seen, we do have a lot more openly leftist people in America now, after decades of it being socially unacceptable. It's just going to be a while before the older generations die off, and they're the most likely to vote. Maybe if younger people actually turned out to the primaries things would be different.
