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!

2 months before election, every shit box MSM channel:
"AOC is a Communist! She loves North Korea! She wants to let violence run rampant in NYC and give candy to pedophiles to help them catch children! FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, DONT VOTE FOR HER!"
AOC has very much demonstrated over the past few years that she understands how to be a politician and not just a tankie firebrand.
So she would at least be able to answer that with something like "No. I actively condemn the human rights abuses by North Korea and . What I do not condemn are government programs to assist those in need and..."
Whether that would be enough? I doubt it. But it would give her a fighting chance with familes that actually understand how horrific these "communist" regimes actually were. Rather than refusing to condemn them because they had good branding like certain other American Left Wing politicians.
Whether or not she had a good response it wouldn't be broadcasted over the billionaire owned media
Which is still a lot better than Certain Other American Leftists who can't even say "I condemn the horrors by the regime" because said regime identified as communist.
Sounds like the same rhetoric from a year ago when they were still trying to push Biden again.
TBF I don't think any sane individual (or anyone with a 401k at this point) would mind having Biden again in office.
That implies they even give her the chance to talk as opposed to just having talking head asshats tell you these things about her. They wouldn't dare interview her and accidentally expose their audience to anything positive about her.
It's the same thing they did to Bernie, even "far left MSNBC" ran "Bernie loves Castro" stories constantly and had one chucklefuck talk about getting put to the firing squad if Bernie won...
