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!

Guys - go and advocate AOC on other platforms.
Including GOP ones like wsj comments, rumble and others
I’d rather Whitmer over AOC or Harris
Neat! But your words don't mean anything because unless we fight, no election matters. So many Americans are under the impression that we can vote our way out of this. I'm sorry, sometimes a country is in turmoil and your only choices are fight or die. Nobody chooses this, but if you choose to avoid it, you're only hurting yourself and kids. Sometimes you don't have a choice but to fight.
This summarizes current America very well: I say I prefer a different candidate and you respond by telling me I’m wrong for that.
No, I'm saying we all prefer someone different, but sometimes we don't have a choice.
And what are you doing to that end, aside from the obvious of typing vigorously about it?
Don't worry about that and just know that I'm an ally.
I note you don't say who's ally you are.
You can freely give up opsec, but I won't. Not right now.
Is she even doing anything? Whitmer?
Yes. She’s been helping expand health coverage for more Michiganders, protecting all Michiganders from discrimation for housing and job employment, protected and enabled those seeking abortions, helped get major funding for horrendous roads, and always seems to be one of the first governors to protect their people when the GOP on a federal level passes anything that weakens us.
