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!

Yeah let’s hear all about how Mamdani exists to be controlled opposition, and how his choices are so fucking questionable lately, and how he’s only driving mainstream liberals back to the Democratic party.
C’mon Tankiejerks. If you trash AOC but can’t find the courage to also trash Mamdani, you’re worthless. So let’s hear it. He’s sold out! In two weeks! Booooourgeois!
No? Crickets as usual from the refuseniks? How odd.
Seriously the more shit i see in here the more I wonder how wrong a strategy it is to tack to the center. The so-called-left can’t win a goddamned participation trophy ffs. We have to put a stake in MAGAs heart in less than a year and this kind of garbage only puts us further away from that.
At least RTFA. The ragebait trap caught a bunch of people.
That looks more like Jeff Coltin's contribution to what Mandani said. Mamdani did the very politician thing and said 'there are many ways'. Jeff is adding in the discouragement and the 'but' to Mamdani's quote.
That might have something to do with it.
Stop being a divisive wrecker and forcing your purity tests on leftists.
Either fall in line or go away, this is a critical time and we cannot have you righties around trying to wreck our momentum because you’re okay with a little bit of genocide.
Oh that is rich
No YOU righties stop trying to wreck our momentum because you’re okay with not having a single national presence to point to and perfect is just fine being the enemy of the good.
Feel free to address the hypocrisy I called out w/r/t the article or - as i fully expect - don’t.
