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!

This election cycle has been like "no, you're not getting a real primary, vote as your told and like it."
Until it became so clear that it was a losing strategy that even Democrats abandoned it.
"No vote no voice" implies that voters have a voice. Until Biden stepped down, they functionally didn't.
You may have liked him, but I'm glad we have someone who stands a chance of winning instead of the guy party leadership wants.
I didn’t like Biden.
If you say so.
I didn’t know I was talking to a child.
I knew I was talking to a boomer.
Millennial.
You don't want to be called a boomer, don't make boomer arguments. "Everyone who disagrees with me must be younger than me and is therefore wrong" is the boomeriest shit ever.
No, not younger. A child. Boomers can act like children as much as you are.
VOTE!!!!
You certainly do.
Already am. I'm glad that Biden dropped out.
I am also glad that Biden dropped out. I’m not a huge Harris fan, but I like her more than Biden.
I'm not huge on Harris either, but I am very much invested in seeing a Democratic Party that listens to its membership, and I'm not going to badmouth them for doing what I want them to.
No one is badmouthing the Democratic Party in our conversation
