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!

Seriously, even if he didn't fully agree, it's dumb to not take all the votes and excitement you can get if you want to f'ing win. I swear if the Dems manage to screw this up, it'll be really hard to not go 3rd party in 2028

if you want to f'ing win

DNC leadership only wants to win with their centrist candidates. Remember how hard they dragged their feet on showing any support for Mamdani? They'd rather Trump get a third term than see a progressive win.

Tbf he's got an awful track record of introducing and voting for things like internet age verification.

Capitalism was never meant to work for the masses. Consumers are designed to have their wealth extracted by the capitalists. That’s the system working as planned. Everything else is a coordinated song and dance with smoke and mirrors.

They'll say this kind of shit then demand you vote for the people opposing people like Mamdani. This is election year posturing and sheepdogging

Thank you so much, Mr. Chris Murphy. You rock.

I'd also recommend watching his recent speech - This Is What 500 Days of Trump's Corruption Looks Like
