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!

Did you choose not to vote Harris? Because I still voted for Harris
I gritted my teeth and voted for her but as soon as she started touting the Rubes endorsing her I knew it was over. How fucking hard can it be to just be progressive? Its that fucking simple.
Progressive doesn't get you anywhere in America
How would you know, we haven't had a viable progressive party in decades. We've only had conservative and diet-conservative. Turns out that's not a winning move. I don't even know how we go about fixing the country at this point, but a top to bottom overhaul of the DNC couldn't possibly hurt.
That's exactly my point. Hell Oregon has a progressive party and they can't win local elections in supposedly a progressive state.
It sure as hell looks like going the other direction worked /s
Because the country has moved further right than the 90s/early 2000s Republicans
It verifiably hasn't. Votes for Trump have remained constant for the last 2 elections. He is not gaining supporters, the Democrats are losing supporters.
There's definitely nothing right of Democrats and left of Trump lol
...so whoever didn't vote Haris effectively voted trump... we've been saying it along that all of that moaning about Dems would lead to Rep win. here it is on display
This is literally the exact same tired tactic used about 2016; attack and blame the left, instead of the neoliberals, moderates, centrists, corporations, or 70 million people who voted for fascism. It is a manufactured PsyOp, that has achieved the exact opposite of what you want 2/3 times.
Trying to blame and shame the left into voting the way you want has failed 66% of the time. You can either learn from it, or continue repeating the same mistakes... it's not like the left's gonna care. They blame you, and enjoy the schadenfreude of your failures.
Funny, because it sure got Obama fucking elected. Even though the DNC didn't support him in '08 and would have preferred the nomination going to Hillary. Even though even he is pretty milquetoast as far as progressives go, his campaign was more successful than anything else the Dems have done in a decade.
A black man offered change and universal healthcare and the U.S. gave him 8 years.
Obama was not and is not a progressive
...in Canada?
Making assumptions based on instance I see
