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!

She'll 100% run...

The question is if it's just a grift and she plans to drop and endorse early, or if she'll actually try to win

That seemed to have been Trump's original plan and now here we are.

Because his favorite wedding guest controlled the opposing party, so she thought the best use of her time was hyping trump up since he'd be an "easy" candidate for her to beat.

At least for this cycle, we don't have a DNC corrupt and/or crazy enough to try and campaign for the craziest republican

I wouldn't count on that, they seem determined to not learn anything.

they

The only time "they" makes sense when referencing the DNC is the ~400 voting members whose sole duty is to elect a chair if there's no Dem president to nominate one...

And "they" 100% learned their lesson by not picking a neoliberal chair.

Now those ~400 people won't have anything to do with the DNC till the next one, about 3 years and 3 months from now.

Like, I 100% get the distrust, and if you just a distrustful person ask yourself this:

Why did billionaire owned media stop telling people the DNC is the only shot and everyone has to just accept the lesser evil?

If billionaires aren't carrying water for the DNC, the DNC likely isn't carrying water for billionaires.

All I ask is you vote in Dem primaries, especially if you consider yourself left of the party.

There is no obligation after the Dem primary, and the worst that could possibly happen is you make Dems slightly more left, and still vote for Mickey Mouse or Batman in the general.

We just can't let neoliberals take the party back or this has all been for nothing.
