The People need officials who remember they work for us, not the other way around. We need more democratic socialists and less establishment Democrats who side with the Pedo Party.

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!

This is how MAGA started.
Now you’ve got to convince all your leftist friends not to self-sabotage by having impossible standards.
Very much so, but at the same time they have to not let themselves be absorbed and neutralised by the corporate dems. Its is a difficult road to walk, but its the only realistic way of pushing left wing policy in the US right now.
I have my doubts at how well that will work out. There are many leftists (the online ones, anyway) that sure do loooove their impossible standards and self-sabotaging.
Also, I'm sure we will see a flood of bullshit bothsides narratives from the reactionary centrist types about how "ZOMG!, both sides are now so extremist, what shall I even do? I mean obviously treating concerns of the working class is equally extreme as the other side, which is galloping toward open fascism! Oh who am I kidding, I'm going to either sit out entirely, vote for some ridiculous third party, or just vote Republican!"
Somehow, these bothsiderists never seem to vote Democratic. It's so weird.
Im a both sider and I vote democrat. One is objectively worse than the other but both sides are more about their corporate donors and actively hinder what the majority of their constituents actually want. I also blame democrats for allowing this current brand of politics to fester for the past 50 years by trying to straddle both sides of isle with a republican group that has been racist, late stage capitalist, authoritarian, and lacking in empathy.
The only bothsiders I see these days are the genocide group.
