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!

We can't afford to run a candidate like Biden ever again.
Bare minimum the next Dem candidate for president needs to be willing to at least try to hold these people accountable.
The oath is to the constitution, and we need to start prosecuting people violating the constitution and then trying to hide behind the oath as "just following orders".
I agree with you, but the problem is that the DNC doesn't think of you or me when they think "we". To them, "we" is wealthy capitalists and their cronies. "We" is whoever is willing to kill any left wing policy before it gets off the ground, at any cost. They would rather lose to fascists than allow a leftist to lead, because they value money over justice and equality. The party elites will not give up control of the party willingly, even for someone who represents overwhelmingly popular policies.
Guess it's going to have to be unwillingly then
DNC has ~400 voting members and their only job is to elect a chair. The chair then has complete power and zero accountability.
They 100% could have chosen to stick with the bullshit neoliberalism you're talking about
They picked the state chair from Minnesota. A guy that turned a purple state not only blue, but home to some of our most progressive Dems in office.
Ken Martin isn't perfect, and I doubt I agree with him on a bunch of policy. But that doesn't matter, the way he's always led a party is pretty fucking simple but very effective:
Run a non-biased primary
Support whoever makes it to the general.
Like, you're about six months behind bud, what you're complaining about was already fixed.
Just don't expect billionaire owned media to spend a lot of time accurately reporting on it.
At best what can be said is that a band aid has been slapped on a patient with an aggressive terminal cancer.
We need to destroy both parties. We need a real working class party.
Thanks, Biden.
Lol there's not going to be a next run, baby.
