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 can guess...
Oh believe me, I have lol. But i wanted proof too.
Well he's said he represents the "first progressive black voting block" so I doubt he's a MAGAt. Either way he's a smarmy politician and your enemy. Like cops, the corporate upper crust, and the investor class. They are all the enemy class regardless of party.
Thanks.
Could you post where you for that info from?
Second paragraph from the end
Thank you, i missed that.
Thanks! I see it.
What does that mean? I can't find any reference to it. Is it some form of political terminology which I'm maybe just unfamiliar with?
It's political jargon used to sway voters
Hm. Sway in what way? Are there other candidates or organizations which use terms like these? I didn't see anything come up.
It's the progressive part. If you want the progressive vote you present yourself as progressive. If he wanted the conservative vote he would have used the word conservative. Black people in America tend to vote liberal/progressive so he's throwing his net where he will catch the most voters. Now is he really progressive? I don't know. He's a snake in the grass to me until he can prove otherwise with actions. The benefit of the doubt for politicians is why we are in the position we are in.
