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!

Is it time to start scratching them to see what we find?
Selfish, power-mad assholes, same as always, just different colors.
The person who said that isn't a "neo" anything; racism is millenia old. Nor are they liberal; liberals love ranked choice voting.
Seems more and more that "neoliberal" is the latest conservative dogwhistle.
You should look up a list of notable neoliberals.
I don't give a fuck. I am an anarchist, anti-capitalist.
If you were an educated one, you'd know Reagan was a neoliberal.
so am I. Wanting political anarchy does not mean you ignore the political realities that we face today. You my friend are a radlib.
I'll never forgive them for the way they did Bernie. When every neoliberal dropped from the field to consolidate power behind joe biden, when Bernie was clearly winning. While elizabeth warren, who accused Bernie of being anti-woman, stayed in the race just long enough to make sure she divided the progressive vote.
They colluded to keep Bernie out of the presidency, and it's because they are corrupt, greedy, and power hungry. Bernie represents people, and they don't.
They labeled him as crazy and a lot of people thought is was because of his policy ideas, which it was in a way, but it was moreso that he was singularly trying to fight the establishment.
Christ in heaven you people are just as bad as the "stop the steal" Trumpets, we're just fortunate there's much fewer of you.
you people? People who support accessible, affordable healthcare for all? People who support making a college education available without crippling student loan debt? People who support the removal of lobbying and the influence of dark money from politics? People who support unions, and the curtailing of corporations power? People who believe a persons worth is not equal to their accumulated wealth?
That the people you're referring to?
No, conspiracy theorists.
