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!

MODERATORS
He’s a moderate Republican running as a Democrat. Absurd. This country keeps sprinting towards the right wing.
Idk if I would call him any kind of Moderate
He's clearly a radical. Listen to one of his public performances. Very, very radical ideas and ideology.
Republicans in America are fascists and extremely right-wing - so a moderate one is both of those things.
All major parties in America are right wing. So he's fascist/authoritarian friendly 100%.
I would. Sure, he has a couple conspiracy theories, like anti-vax stuff, but on most policies he’s a moderate
He's being financed and propped up by wealthy fascists. What you would, is be easy to fool.
There's nothing moderate about Kennedy, he's a full-blown MAGA far-righter. Which is why he's being laughed out of the Democratic primary, thank God.
As a foreigner, why isn't he thrown out of the party? It's what we would do.
There's no mechanism to throw him out of the party. Party membership in the US is completely informal, unlike many other countries. You're basically a member if you say you are and there's nothing anyone can do about it.
And even if there were a mechanism, the Kennedys are Democratic royalty.
There's not going to be a primary, so it doesn't matter.
Because the party is run by idiots
Thank fuckin God. We'd have nothing left if we didn't stand up to the communists currently attempting a takeover
Gonna assume you're trolling, because when I read mega dumb comments I give people the benefit of the doubt and assume they're purposefully being obtuse. If you're not, define communism
You need like the marxists leninist maoist definings or an explanation of the modern efforts being put forth by the underlings in the party you are likely to be voting for?
I'm not going to provide either to you because you have a computer in your hand but I'm sure you can find plenty of examples that fit even your definition of it.
There are other groups to the left than ml communists. There are even other non ML communist.
