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!

I've been saying this for years.
Unhappily, there are plenty of people who will swear the AOC is as bad as Schumer because has gone along with the Party.
I've seen people say this, but literally never actually see it.
Where are you seeing this so often?
I've been ranting about the grass roots electoral movement in thie Knock Down The HOuse documentary for years. That whole "Regardless of how you feel about AOC" I stipulated is from years of people missing the point and focusing on her instead of the grassroots movement that got her elected.
The knee jerk hate for AOC is real
I legitimately don't know what that means, but I'm pretty sure it's not a place...
Republicans and neoliberals, sure. But Obama did fine without them too.
Doesn't matter what mainstream media says about her, they said the same shit about Obama because they were exaggerating. They can't say anything new at this point.
On the internet you neurotic asshole
Kind of a big place...
You can't narrow that down? I'm genuinely curious
For real, there are thousands if not millions of people who could do just as good a job if not better than AOC.
Harry Truman was considered a loser by his peers, and literally became president because the GOP Old Boys club wanted to prove their influence could put anyone even a paper boy into the white house.
Americans need to mirror that capability and build local electoral machines that can primary ineffective leaders.
Truman was a Democrat, not GOP.
