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!

Cali really needs to fix their primary...
"Top Two" just blocks progressives. The oligarchs always pick a Republican and a neoliberal and give a shit ton to both to ensure come general, those are the only two options.
A separate primary for Ds and Rs would let a progressive make it to the general, and then easily beat any Republican in the general when the masses vote.
Cali is up there with NY as the worst Dem party tho, so it'll be a hard fight if they ever fix it.
Fix? Sounds like it's working exactly as designed.
If I wait for you to go to work, then rob your house...
My system worked exactly as designed.
That doesn't mean it's a fair system or that you have to accept that its my system.
Just that it's what I'm doing.
We pried the DNC out of the cold dead hands of neoliberals over a year ago....
If we can do that, we can recapture the prodigal state parties. We just have to do it.
How did that happen, which progressive is now at the reins?
Mamdani is giving hope that change can possibly occur.
Love that dude, if there was a god i would accuse Mamdani of doing his work
