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!

What is difficult to understand here?
You may have not seen it.
But that doesn't mean most people didn't.
That point is bigger than any one news story.
But I don't think anything I say will get you to understand that at this point.
And it's fucking depressing
Take a break dude. You’re getting downvoted because you’re attacking instead of conversing, and you’re point has a distant smell of whataboutism and bothsideism. One is authoritarian fascism, the other is democratic corporate sponsored genocide. Both terrible options, but one can be voted away and the other can’t.
How can you vote out "democratic corporate sponsored genocide" if that leaves you with "authoritarian fascism"?
How can you call one group "democratic" after a sham of a primary where NH has their delegates yanked because the state party wouldn't violate NH state law at the behest of Biden and the DNC?
Especially when you factor in NH had went for the progressive in prior primaries?
The situation has been a lot worse than you're presenting it.
If that's what was going on I'd say it's fine trump is doing it because Biden did it.
What I'm saying is that it's fucked trump is doing it, and it's fucked Biden did it and people didn't give a shit and it was routed as a positive by everyone at the time including Faux News.
I want both sides held to the same higher standard.
If someone has a problem with that, they're the actual problem. Because enabling that behavior in primaries is how Dems lose in the general.
