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!

I can’t wait for all the leftists here to tell me exactly why AOC is too far right for anyone to vote for.
She doesn't agree with me on everything up to and including mustard preference, so she's not capable of doing anything good ever. That's also why Vance isn't too far right to vote for btw. I won't elaborate.
Also she hasn't singlehandedly brought peace to insert random conflict in the world somewhere therefore she's just as bad if not worse than the Republicans, therefore I will not vote for her.
Also I will immediately forget about said conflict the minute the elections are over and I'm definitely not a Russian shill.
These circlejerks are really start to sound like one. Good job, comrade. Fuck Putin.
"Let's do nothing about a genocide we're actively supporting because we're fine with as many people dying with our military complex. But it shouldn't inconvenience me, that's where my responsibility ends."
And when people say you deserve trump you can't help yourself call them names and use ad hominem to deflect off any criticism.
It's grainy Dijon mustard, right?
She’s in New York and if you look at the USA then you’ll notice that it is the biggest city on the RIGHT of the USA.
Check. MATE.
Ain't that the truth. Just had an argument the other with someone who said that unless she was left of Bernie there was no point in voting for her, and I'm like don't let perfect be the enemy of good, and my god you think I told them their mother was a whore. Finally realized what they were though and stopped responding then blocked.
I'm still baffled at how many leftists fell for Jimmy "let's make friend with Nazis" Dore's bullshit "force the M4A vote" grift.
I still see these dumb bastards screaming bloody murder acting like she's MAGA because she didn't fall for that moronic campaign.
Jimmy Dore is firmly on my shit list of those I wish to feed to the Joshua Trees, right next to Tucker Carlson.
leftist here.
Hi. Lefty. I'll allow it.
I have no problem with it, if this happens because a good part of Congress is more left leaning than AOC.
