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!

She’s right, we need more bold and aggressive voices like hers speaking the truth
Just like other Democrats she’s putting all her eggs in the “communication” basket and not keeping the conversation on popular policies. I know she’s a progressive, but I can’t find much on concrete policy positions because her whole schtick is talking smack about other politicians.
OTOH you have Mamdani, who is crushing the opposition by relentlessly focusing on popular policies. That’s the kind of future Democrats need. Listen to what people want and make that the conversation.
I half agree with this. She in particular is a loud and aggressive voice which Dems need more of, but I can't say I've heard her pitches on any policy at all.
AOC and Bernie are better fits for the kind of communicating we really need more of which includes pragmatic solutions to problems that exist.
I strongly agree with this, Mamdani has a much better tactic. I still enjoy Crockett calling out bullshit, but that's really a great place for her. I don't want her to lead the group, her attitude is too polarizing at first blush, but she's very well suited to the offensive position she's been playing so I hope she keeps that up.
I’m curious which truth she was speaking that makes you feel she would be a good politician and not just a late night tv show host?
