Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. 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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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!

Andrew yang made a post earlier today saying that he believes Dean Phillips and Nikki Haley are better alternative then joe Biden and Donald trump.

In my opinion I think the only good candidates for the 2024 presidential run is Jill Stein and cornel west, and I wish the would come together and run but I can’t force what the don’t want.

My views on Dean Phillips are that he may actually be the best choice in the Democratic Party but he has a tendency to argue with people on X like he’s a child and not a congressman but there is definitely worse cough cough trump.

My view on Nikki Haley is very bad. She don’t know why the civil war happened which is mind boggling but I also just don’t like majority of her policies. I think Chris Christie is the best republican running but I think he needs to get his policies out more because if you don’t watch his town hall meetings then you aren’t going to know his policies.

I don’t think it was that Haley didn’t know about the issues of the civil war. She delicately danced around the topic because she didn’t want to turn off typical MAGA voters, especially in the south where they fervently still say it was “states rights” and “northern aggression”.

Dean Phillips is basically a younger version of Biden- he’s voted with Biden on virtually everything.

Which is interesting because he’s one of the few dems also calling Biden on his bulllshit.

Trump is objectively awful. Biden is merely bad.

Jill Stein? Cornell West? Just vote directly for Putin instead. Woof.

this is rusophobic slander.

And my opinion of Yang keeps sliding further and further. I regret that I once considered myself a member of the yang gang.
