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 US politics and contain quality and original content. Social Media adjacent hosts like Substack are allowed, but ONLY if they tie back to a company/subsidiary. No personal or friend group blogs and no self-promotion. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and re-hosted 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 other users of being bots or paid actors.
- No memes, trolling, misinformation, or low-effort posts/comments (including reposts). If you see posts like this that anger you, do not engage. Report, block, and live a happier life than they do. Any slap-fight is subject to comment removals. Fights full of rule violations will result in temporary bans to cool off.
- No manipulating votes via bots or alt accounts; this will result in permanent bans. 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 an account ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be permanently banned.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules and use critical thinking when reading, posting, and commenting. Users that repeatedly have 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. The reason(s) behind moderator action(s) are publicly available through the Modlog.
That's all the rules!

I thought there was a trans woman recently? Nancy May had been screaming about it I think. I just remember she was pretty and not her name.
Yes, but not in Washington.
I care less about the identity politics than i do their personal politics. Caitlin Jenner is trans but she's shit. We don't need more status quo bullshit regardless who it comes from. If they parrot the politics of old white straight men their identity is irrelevant.
She's DSA, which increases the odds of decent policies and the writeup in the article sounds encouraging to me.
If you read the article and nothing else, it's already very clear she does not have the politics you're somewhat racially applying to white straight men broadly, which is more targetedly invoked with the term "wasp"
Jaelynn Scott is set to become Washington’s first openly transgender legislator after sailing through last week’s primary.
She also could be one of only two members of the Democratic Socialists of America in the Legislature.
First two paragraphs of the article. I gently suggest reading, next time.
I read the article, DSA can't be trusted anymore than the DNC. They both want to work within the confines of our own oppressors
Ah the old "anyone to the right of comrade Lenin himself isn't to be trusted" rhetoric. The center square on my .ml bingo card. Yeah... have a great day and all that
Democrats of any flavor can never be trusted
You're never going to change the political apparatus without interacting with its machinery. Refusing nuance might make you feel better, but it won't move the Overton window or advance the vanguard. This behavior is part of why so many instances have defederated from .ml. Good luck with whatever you think you're doing.
Theyve defederated because it disrupts their echo chamber. Can't have someone whispering truths on the sidelines.
Like I said, protect the echo chamber.
Exactly right.
The difference is your echo chamber is 100% US propaganda to defend US imperialism and keep the oligarchy firmly entrenched in power.
