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!

Remember their names for the PRIMARIES
Learn who's challenging the incumbents, and throw a few bucks their way. Or help with their campaign

Most the Losers List above don't expect to keep their seats or are otherwise election-proof to a degree, but it's still important to pay attention in the primary.
Instead of ending up with a DNC-approved corpo-Dem, we need better candidates to win the PRIMARY
Good thing those primaries are not fixed or fucked with at all. I mean unless they where completely ran and ruled by the party, but that would be madness. Really a great thing that they are so important that the process is protected by laws and not completely left to the whims of the very body of established people that would benefit from say stacking the ballots, or back room dealing away "problem" candidates.
I mean only a joke of a nation would have only two parties AND also not enshrine into law the process of how those parties elect representatives. The only thing that would be crazier is if they also invented some sort of "election" collage to further fuck with voting and lock in the same two party system.
