Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. 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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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!

Democratic socialism became more in vogue among progressive Democrats following Sen. Bernie Sanders's (I-Vt.) two presidential campaigns. His failed bids for the presidency inspired some dissatisfied with the Democratic Party's response to Trump and on legislation that it led several DSA-affiliated candidates, including Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.), to run for office and win.

Yahoo linkjacks other sources, in this case, The Hill.

Please link to the original source or we'll have to remove it.

The enemy is Trump AND anyone who doesn’t fight him tooth and nail using every available tactic. I.E. Dems in power from 2021-2023 who could’ve prevented ALL OF THIS.

Maybe not prevented fully, but at least delayed. Instead the opened the whole door and let him waltz in.

[–] Xanthobilly@lemmy.world 25 points 1 day ago

Yes but, HE ENABLES THAT ENEMY.

5 dollars says he is worried that the left won't want to cooperate to push a neo-liberal agenda.

[–] NekoKoneko@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

This is it. He's calculated that there aren't enough true progressives to oust him as minority (possibly soon majority) leader, so he's superficially making a neutral statement but really telling the progressives he expects them to fall in line.

The enemy isn’t Donald Trump. Even if he were swapped out for the best intentioned Democrat president, the voting people would continue to suffer and the rich get richer.

The enemy people are beginning to identify are those who are placing corporate capitalism above people.

Sure, people don’t want fascism or populism, but they also don’t want libertarianism or corporate feudalism. It’s possible to not like ANY of those options and still value the US constitution.

I hoped that Jeffries would remember that, but here we are, talking about wanting his feckless loser ass to resign, and it's because he fucking sucks at standing up to the enemy. Get out of the fucking way, Hakeem. You're a shitty Obama impression, and he was a half-measure president who shouldn't have compromised.

We have more than one enemy. 4 specific ones in politics.

Corrupt bought Dems. Aipac. Republicans. Billionaires.

Did I forget anyone ?

Ok Uncle Tom 👍

[–] resipsaloquitur@lemmy.cafe 2 points 1 day ago

Do you, Hakeem?

that's cute. we are tired of watered down representation. examples will be made on both sides. Not pushing far enough this time at your own peril.
