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 politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted 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 another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- 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 a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple 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.
That's all the rules!

TLDR Hispanic men. They're strongly Democratic now, so they haven't learned a damned thing.
EDIT: as the thread below has demonstrated, you all jump to conclusions about my meaning too easily. I'm saying Democrats - while definitely better on the totalitarian aspect, so this is not a "both sides" take - still serve us up to their corporate masters, as Hakeem Jeffries has recently demonstrated with his stated lack of support for universal healthcare.
Wtf is this take?
It's the both sides argument... again... I'm so sick of this shit.
Me too but I want the idiot to explain it to out themselves.
Amusing how you've already judged both me and my intent while demanding I explain it. Maybe don't jump to conclusions so readily next time, eh?
Dumb fuck cries that everyone calls them out for "both sides"-ing, then proceeds to do a "both sides"-ing. You just blow in from Stupid Town?
No, it's not - Dems are certainly better, but only because they're not so totalitarian. They still serve us up to their corporate masters, however.
Then what group that isn't running in their areas should they vote for. That's what's so inflammatory about your statement. Yes Democrats serve the same corporate masters by and large. Yet even by your own admission they are better than Republicans while still doing this.
You can only choose from the choices available to you. If someone asks you if you want cake or death. If you say chimichangas you're getting death.
I hope, I really really hope that DSA keeps moving on the DNC and we might actually see change at State and National levels. Maybe you've already seen it in your state. I've run into a lot of attached Blue State dwellers who have the same things to say as you did. But the majority of the rest of the country isn't in the situation they find themselves and. And making fun of or admonishing them for choosing from the choices actually available to them is counterproductive we need to give them and ourselves better choices that are viable. Something this new DSA initiative might actually accomplish fingers crossed
Question who are you talking to?
Tankies.
I mean there are only two choices: Democrat or Republican. They're not a big enough block to start their own third side so what should they do in your enlightened mind?
Probably this is what they're pushing for
And just to be clear, I'm not saying you don't know this (person I'm replying to), or that you are the problem
