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!

MODERATORS
Now Ezra Klein is going to have to work overtime to explain at length why they are wrong.

In other news, entitled voters will still not vote to keep a pedophile rapist, commanding a rabid conservative army bent on depriving them of their rights, freedoms and livelihoods, from taking the highest office in the land. Still somehow prefer that to a non-progressive candidate.
Gee, if only the private corporation with a near monopoly on “progressive” general election ballot lines would hold meaningful, competitive primary elections for the highest office in the land. But no, it’s “tradition” for unelected party insiders to clear the field for demonstrably unpopular incumbents who broke their campaign promise of running a single term. Better to handpick the nominee before voters even get a say.
Look at NYC. Their ranked-choice mayoral primary is competitive, and voters turn out when it actually matters. You can’t blame people for skipping a rigged system that’s failing to produce candidates they actually like. Doing so isn’t gonna lower cost of living or fix the broken US healthcare system, which is what most people are actually voting for when they get the chance.
Ah, "entitled" is new libtard thought-terminating cliché
They'll sell us out as quickly as regular Democrats.
