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 US politics and contain quality and original content. Social Media adjacent hosts like Substack are allowed, but ONLY if they tie back to a company/subsidiary. No personal or friend group blogs and no self-promotion. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and re-hosted 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 other users of being bots or paid actors.
- No memes, trolling, misinformation, or low-effort posts/comments (including reposts). If you see posts like this that anger you, do not engage. Report, block, and live a happier life than they do. Any slap-fight is subject to comment removals. Fights full of rule violations will result in temporary bans to cool off.
- No manipulating votes via bots or alt accounts; this will result in permanent bans. 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 an account ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be permanently banned.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules and use critical thinking when reading, posting, and commenting. Users that repeatedly have 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. The reason(s) behind moderator action(s) are publicly available through the Modlog.
That's all the rules!

We tried to tell you at the war in the middle east protests.
We tried to tell you at Occupy Wall Street.
We tried to tell you during Bernies 2016 run.
We tried to tell you during Black Lives Matter.
We tried to tell you during Bernies 2020 campaign.
Its been decades and now we're tuning out for our own sanity and the media and politicians are going to have to solve the problems they made and exacerbated themselves.
A movement that calls it quits after losing an election is not a serious movement. It's more like a performance.
Maybe that's why nobody was listening to you.
You skip the part where I said we've been at it for decades? Or the part where I said tuning out? No ones stopping being a revolutionary, were stopping engaging in a system that doesn't listen to us. Read better.
Yea. I'd delete my shitty takes, too.
Maybe you should suck Putin's cock a little deeper.
Didn't read the list,huh dumbass?
I read it. A list of failures.
Even Bears fans are more resilient than leftists. But that's fine, you can just pack it in and show yourselves out. I don't think anyone will notice.
You saw a list of events that spans over a decade.
10 years is quite the performance, perhaps you're just ignorant to the reality of things 🤷
Then we agree it's not multiple decades.
And 10 years is nothing. The anti-abortion movement set Dobbs into motion in the 1990s, when they put Thomas on the SCOTUS. Their work only paid off 30 years later. Your "movement" doesn't have the kind of patience necessary for success.
It really was mostly performance. If you ask someone today, "What did OWS want?" they will likely be unable to tell you.
Fair. Painful and mean, but also fair.
