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!

MODERATORS
The big takeaway for me is people are u ironically calling Crowley a "milquetoast moderate"...
Dude has literally sued his police department...

Not just personally sued them, joined an existing ACLU class action.
Then became vice chair of the same city:s ACLU chapter...
I wanted Hong to win too, but it's concerning so many people are quick to paint this guy like you just did.
He seems fine, and while I may have missed something, I usually don't.
He supports the genocide in Gaza and cynically weaponizes identity politics to defend his position. He said he considers being called an establishment candidate a slur. Crowley is not fine, he's a sellout who fails the most basic test of moral character that is condemning an ongoing genocide in which our own government is complicit.
Aipac is the enemy on that we all agree
Right...
So if someone showed he was working with AIPAC, that would be a bad thing...
But no one has so what the fuck are you taking about?
So I'm looking and I have no idea why I wrote this. I think maybe I responded to the wrong person? This has nothing to do with what you said, apologies
The DSP arm hate the impure: anyone slightly less to the left than them.
Dynamics work the same on the edges, left or right
Not really, it's desperate propaganda to divide the party.
What I did was say that divide is stupid and highlight that sometimes more than one person running in a primary could make a good politician.
What you did, was divide the party
