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 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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 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!

If only you had a decade history of him running a state party up to the literal day he became DNC chair...
Like, you know people don't just appear out of thin air the first time you here their name...
Right?
Then you're a lot less cynical than I am. That'll fix itself.
I'd bet a lot of money that's not true...
The difference is I understand why I'm cynical, and how things change.
You tho, just saw everyone not liking Dems, somewhat understood why, and are now latching onto that as an unchanging truth of the universe.
Not understanding that things changeused to just be a republican thing, but unfortunately I'm seeing a lot of accounts online doing it while saying they're Dems.
Never see it in real life...
But online there's a lot of accounts who really really want to convince people voting in Dem primaries won't fix anything.
Which is weird, because a rational person who feels like the party might be biased, would make the logical decision to try and get progressives to vote in the primary.
Why don't you want progressives to vote in the Dem primary?
What harm does that do that you spend "free time" telling people it would be pointless?
What's the result you're hoping for here?
Quick edit:
Honestly not sure why I'm asking questions, you dont answer them and just keep making short comments telling people it's useless to vote in primaries...
