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!

Just because AOC calls herself a "democratic socialist" doesn't mean she is. If a chicken calls itself an eagle, does that make it so?
We need a third party. If Bernie had had the balls to run Independent, he would have kicked both Trump's and Hillary's asses. Most people in the U.S. are in the middle, the real middle, not the bullshit choice of Nazi versus slightly nicer Nazi.
Lol that's just factually not true. A third party contributes to the spoiler effect. In our current voting system, a third party kingmakes the least desirable choice. Running third party without voting system reform is political suicide.
It's my opinion, so it's not "factually untrue" or empirically true. You calling it factually untrue is itself factually untrue. I'm 54, so I've seen a lot more of politics than you have (I'm guessing you're 30-something). Since you're obviously too smart to be this dumb, you're most likely a shill, which is even worse than being a MAGA r*tard.
So left and progressive that you think it's okay to use an ableist slur like that as long as you put a little censor in there. Cute. I wish I were a shill. I would love to call out cunts like you on the internet and get paid for it. You make the left worse. That's my point.
It's fake leftist like you who make the left worse, idiot. You think that accusing me of being an "ableist" makes you more of a leftist, that's a huge part of the problem, moron. See, I can use other words, like idiot and moron that are not considered "ableist slurs" that were used in the same vein as said slur you may be referring to.
