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!

It’s a vote. You can’t win a vote with feelings or vibes or a “can do attitude”.
It requires votes.
This is a good example of whats wrong with the centrists. You dont even seem to know what I'm talking about, or else you're just repeatedly denying it and pretending not to know. Its a microcosm of the Democrats floundering and failure right now.
This is what’s wrong with leftists. They never win any elections because they don’t understand the importance of voting.
Dems lose by 2 million votes in 2024 because of leftists getting tricked into not voting over Gaza.
Leftists respond by acting like it’s some big defeat and dems need to start taking campaign advice from leftists that cannot win elections.
On the other hand Trump loses by 3x as many votes in 2020 and comes back to win the next election by doubling down on his strategy.
If Trump had leftists trying to tell him how to campaign he would’ve lost in 2016 and 2024.
Seems obvious you cant win without the leftists though can you. Maybe you disloyal centrists should have considered that from the start. Now you're sitting in the wilderness with us trying to act all smug and high handed and lecture people? Who do you think you are? You hold the reins of a party that is now a complete laughingstock. You've shat the bed so epicly that I'd be embarrased to comment if I were you. Your reputation for vacuous incompetence and corruption is tied to you like a stone around your ankles. And yet you loudmouthedly swagger around like you're proud of what you have accomplished. After you enabled a genocide and lost to a geriatric fascist clown, no less. Your lack of self awareness and failure to learn a single thing in losing is truly amazing.
Except dems have been winning without leftists. Dems have also lost because of leftists like in 2024.
That is how leftists ratchet governments to the right. By losing elections for themselves and anyone that parties with them. Then attacking the dems that gave them a chance.
So dems cater to actual voters that show up and vote and have nuanced, diverse ideologies in the middle of the spectrum.
Instead of working with leftists that screech “genocide Joe” until Trump gets elected.
