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!

Deja Foxx ran as a possible new Democratic phenom but when her primary challenge to the Grijalva legacy fell flat, so did she. The swagger disappeared. The pouting began.

Two things:

  1. "Blake Morlock" is some unknown blogger that posts rants
  2. Foxx conceded within an hour of the call

#2 is not odd at all. Where in the fuck did you dig this shit up?

Uh, from the link?

Blake Morlock is an award-winning columnist for TucsonSentinel.com who worked in daily journalism for nearly 25 years and is the former communications director for the Pima County Democratic Party.

FTA:

The results came in and you delivered two kinda-sorta concession speeches except for in neither did you concede the race and endorse the winner. 

Finally, this morning you endorsed. For someone who claims to know how fast information moves today on platforms around the world, it took a full 12 hours to actually do what you needed to do, which means you didn't really do it.

Also, when you did the third thing that needed to be done, you were in a coffeehouse just feet from where your supporters were gathered, and you Zoomed your initial remarks to your people. They had to watch you on a screen, while the audio was too messed up to understand what you were saying.

So you’re saying she did concede, the article says it was a “kinda-sorta concession” followed 12 hours later by an actual concession. I don’t know either way, just thought it was an interesting story about a young politician.
