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!

Look at how the ‘release’ of the 2024 post mortem report is being handled. You’d think it was the fucking Epstein files the way the chair of the DNC oversaw it, reviewed it, and then instructed his team to release their findings and not the report which is over 200 pages. He claims it’s because we ‘need to look forward and not navel gaze and point fingers, we need to learn lessons from the past and move on’. He says this while withholding the actual report from the public and many high ranking officials in the party at large.
The entire thing feels just as you described, ‘fuck you, we are staying the same because that’s all we’re good at, deal with it.’
If we are stuck with this two party system, the Democratic Party needs a huge overhaul, and that report could be a pretty big light in a fucking huge tunnel.
Yeah - I've commented on the autopsy elsewhere, and... yeah.
It's bludgeoningly obvious that they won't release the autopsy because it places blame on themselves, and quite likely even points to specific things that they fully intend to do again, or even are already doing again.
They know full well that they're betraying the voters and they just dont care.
And they deserve to just be thrown out like the trash they are. Send them to the scrap heap and replace them with an entirely new organization that will at the very least actually try to promote candidates the voters actually want to vote for.
