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.

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.

You know, Kristen, when Abraham Lincoln was in Gettysburg, looking out on the field with so many had died to defend freedom, he talked about a vision of America where we have a government of the people, by the people and for the people. What we have right now in Washington, let me be very clear, is a government of the billionaire class, by the billionaire class and for the billionaire class.
What a banger of a quote
“Let me be very clear” is such a Bernie-ism.. even unattributed, it’s so easy to tell that it’s him.
Truly a global loss that he was never given a fair chance to challenge for the Presidency.
James Carville is a person nobody should take advice from ever again.
Carville needs to 'strategically retreat' back into whatever Louisiana snake hole he slithered out of.
I thought it was the ark of the covenant.
I dont think people give early family guy enough credit for shitting on conservatives

The Democrats seem to have come up with two strategies so far: either (1) wait and hope someone does something, or (2) play dead and hope someone does something.
You forgot collect donations
Dude hasn't been correct about how to win elections since 30 years ago, and hasn't been correct about policy ever.
And then he won because he was running Bill "I don't literally hate black and gay people" Clinton against a proven liar who tanked the economy, in an America that cared about those things.
Also Ross Perot with a steel chair
I don't usually take advice from fucking fossils. Sanders is the exception.
Seriously, Carville is fucking 80, hasn't he been myopically dictating the direction of this useless fucking party long enough?
As usual, Bernie is spot on.
And, as usual, Carville is a grifting neoliberal coasting on winning one election against an unpopular president 32 years ago.

One of the main architects of the status quo democrats thinks democrats need to respond to getting stomped by maintaining the status quo? Color me shocked.
The Democrat Party and the Republican Party have never been at odds in their position that their political donors should run the government.
The parties have largely just been the vehicles for turning corruption into legislation. Now that open corruption is legal, there's no need to upset the cart, the Democrats are just waiting their turn.
"Let the bus continue to accelerate off the cliff, then the Republican voters will be mad at the driver!" says the corporat Dems sitting on the bus.
I would add, says the corporate Dems, sitting on the bus with a parachute made of money.
"What we have right now in Washington, let me be very clear, is a government of the billionaire class, by the billionaire class, and for the billionaire class."
Get some Bernie
Sanders channels Lincoln while Carville channels a possum—guess which inspires voters?

I'm a little out of the loop, what are all the cat faces in the comments about?
The cat emojis represent a playful ranking system inspired by "MeowMeowBeanz" from Community.

This is such a silly callback, I love it.

Carville is a DNC talking head moron and always has been. If we're taking advice from that idiot we're in even worse shape than we thought.

The trees the New York Times is printed on wishes they were toilet paper instead.
After the 2016 election, until the 2024 election, the Democrats won every election of every National political body except the House in 2022. It was a solid run electorally.
You can complain about what those political bodies accomplished, but not that they didn't win.
Yeah they did well in 2018 and 2020 when Trump was last in office. Not so well outside of the condition of Trump being demonstrably worse.
Democrats: .... maybe if we do more neck exercises we can learn to stretch our necks more so that we can send our heads further into the hole in the ground we've been using
Why is our main advocate still ancient? Is there no one younger willing to take this fight?
AOC is the closest
Alas, AOC has two thing working against her that the centrists & the right will never get past: she has boobs.

There are, but the media does not want to spread their message
