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!

If there’s one lesson the DNC should learn it’s this.
They won’t. But they should.
If there is one lesson we should learn, it's that they don't care to win. They are owned by the same corporate big wigs as Trump. They're on the same team, capitalism.
Why learn anything, the policies they want will be implemented anyway 🧠
Such a fucking stupid take.
Because they are selling peace with unicorn kisses and hope just to steal your money and you pay for it with hope.
They only learn what they want to hear.
the party can't fail it can only be failed
It literally doesn't matter if all you have to do is lie and promise everything.
Stupid article.
Talk about not learning anything.. 🤦
I mean that's basically what Obama did. It's what Trump does. If you promise 100% and only give 30% you'll be remembered as a good or good ish president. 60%+ and you're the greatest president of all time. But when you promise -10% you're just not gonna win.
Hell, just imagine if Democrats hadn't let the parliamentarian stand in their way on the minimum wage. Just that by itself would have made it a lot harder for Republicans to claim that Democrats don't give a shit if their voters can pay for food.
Sinema's thumbs down remains Democrats' last word on the subject. And it's not like she was the lone obstructionist in the party. She was one of EIGHT Democrats who voted against raising the minimum wage.
