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!

I mean, you live in Missouri, man.
You're not going to get AOC to run in your district. Those people wont win the primaries. I lived in bum-fuck rural Pennsylvania, and people there called me 'big city boy' because I moved to that area from the suburbs of fucking Phoenix. And this was like 20 some years ago, so Phoenix was not exactly a big city in the slightest.
A dem like this, means that other more progressive dems have people they can reach out to, and get to vote on legislation that they sponsor.
Even if they vote 75% of the time with an AOC dem, that's 75% more yes votes than you'll get from a republican.
I'm not asking for AOC. I know the people here view her and people like Mamdani as traitorous communists (not to mention the racist smear campaigns ran against Cori Bush who was one of 2 Missouri government officials against AIPAC). I literally just want an acknowledgement of the genocide and to say they won't accept AIPAC money or vote alongside conservatives as a whole no matter what (all of them just single out Trump which to me sounds like they still view the GOP as worth saving).
