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!

Oh, the opinions are just now changing? What a fucking disgrace
Opinions are not changing. A progressive is getting too much media attention.
Politicians don't pay attention to voters. They pay attention to their reelection chances. That can't happen when they don't control the narrative.
Plus they are old.
Polling changed. Young voters usually are ignored.
Are donations getting changed? Then I guarantee you they don't give a fuck about opinions.
not everyone is terminally online or able to suss out disinformation
This, and its frustrating how not on top of things most people are.
It’s so damn hard to do, and I’m someone that is engaged more than the average working stiff.
It's called having a life
You know, I'm starting to wonder if Hitler and the Holocaust are not good things and maybe we should stop him.
well hitlers gone and the holocaust is being conducted by the zionists now. So is that the holocaust you want to stop?
I was making the point that people are just now finally realizing that Zionism, similar to Christian Nationalism in the US, have been the issue all along. It's been 80 years and here they are each repeating all the same atrocities all over again.
Tribalism and fear and hate is causing so much destruction and death and suffering.
my bad. Agreed
Yeah seriously WTF
Even when I was 12 years old being raised in a Christian conservative household and knowing nothing about politics, I still thought it was weird that America funnels so much money and weapons into Isreal.
Didn't understand it then, still don't today.
