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!

aka throw more trans and marginalised people under the bus.
also here's a bari weiss free link: https://archive.ph/hyR1L
Because they're totally doing great and thriving under the current regime right? I'm not disagreeing that the Democrats need to go through substantial change, but the simple fact is that they are still the better choice compared to the dumpster fire that's going on right now.
At least there's still time to get good candidates on the ballot, and Mamdani has shown that a truly popular progressive has a chance to get past the establishment and win, hopefully more will follow that lead.
Wtf does that have to do with anything that was said here.
because he's basically saying stop criticizing dems who vote for republican culture wars.
I don't think that's what he's saying at all... Jesus what a biased take that is.
then you better tell the 25 or so dems that helped republicans pass step 1 of the NDAA in the senate which includes the anti trans riders (which wouldn't have passed without the dems help)

That, again, has almost nothing to do with what was said in this article.
Do yourself a favor and ignore or block that person, trust me, talking to them is always a spiral and you just lose braincells.
Ah shit, thanks for the warning
Same.
it has literally everything to do with the article which is about dems refusing to stand for anything.
My good person, have thou seenest the news this year? Democrats winning is not your great threat. And in a two party state, it’s insane to support their defeat.
We said this last year (and, coincidentally, you said this last year). And the resulting political changes have been the worst most trans and marginalized people have ever seen. Why are you doing this again.
it also doesn't help when democrats are helping to pass a federal ban into law.
