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!

The Friends of Bernie Sanders made the payments to the Sanders Institute in two installments of $100,000 in January and March, according to disclosures with the Federal Election Commission.

The senator’s wife, Jane O’Meara Sanders, and stepson, David Driscoll, co-established the think tank and unveiled it publicly in 2017 after Sanders’ insurgent 2016 presidential campaign catapulted him to stardom among progressives.

In 2019, the group briefly halted its operations while the Vermont senator vied for the presidency in 2020, though they appear to have resumed since then.

So, the opposite of Clinton?

I don't see the relevancy of what you've chosen to quote from this article. Unless you're comparing Sanders campaign donors to Saudi Arabia?

Thanks for pointing it out, I have updated it.

this is right wing propaganda, the New York Post is not a news source.

Conservative tabloids are not news outlets. It's safe to assume every single letter of this is complete fiction.

Look more into it, just because you do not like who found or post it, does not mean it is not true.

Sabby Sabs shows how the walmart family is involved.

Lol, no thanks. No one here is falling for it. Maybe try a conservative hang out like Stormfront or Nambla.

Stay in your bubble then.

Being scared of talking and learning from people that don't agree with what you think is not a good trait to be boastful about.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

There is no fear here. Only disgust. Run along now.

Dividing the people and keeping the wealthy, weathy.

The wealthy class, and those that work for them, has done wonders to our citizens.

Being proud to not disscus our differences with people that have more in common with us, then with the wealthy.

There is nothing to discuss with a conservative.

Every word uttered by a conservative is deception or manipulation. Conservativea are incapable of entering into discussions in good faith.

How are my talking points even close to what you call me.

I am closer to a communist then a libertarian.

I do not know how you came to that conclusion...

Good luck and peace!
