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!

How is it measurably worse, I won't even be alive in 4 years when Newsome runs if we all wait around for the Dems to save us.
And instead of calling out the current administration, he is feeding the fire by having transphobic folks on his fucking podcast.
Nope, I am sorry. The Democrats have been doing this shit for as long as I have been alive. I will vote fucking third party if I am still alive over voting for newsome. If the Democrats want my vote, they need to put AOC on the ticket.
And yes, I will vote in the primary for her. Given the opportunity
More likely I won't be able to vote by then because I'm trans.
The Democrats already fucking failed us. Biden Harris. The DNC playing favorites in 2016.
I'm all for hijacking the party, don't get me wrong, but I'm not going to vote for another fucking liberal in my life.
If they want to run actual progressives, I will vote for that party. Otherwise I mean shit I'm already dead anyway.
Harris was the last, no more of this lesser of two evil shit.
Edit, I didn't it down votes you by the way that was somebody else. We can disagree without a petty down vote war
This right here is what I'm saying. Anybody who meets the requirements can declare their candidacy in the party primary. We don't need the party to turn around and say "oh hey here's a bunch of candidates for you to pick from." Was AOC given to us by the party? NO! She just up and ran against an incumbent because she saw Bernie do it. And the voters in the district showed up and voted for her. Fuck what "the party" wants and use their process to get what we want! It's not up to the party to put someone on the ticket, it's up to that someone to register to be on the primary ballot and the god damn primary voters to show up and vote!
They did, but it didn't matter, because more people showed to the primaries to vote for Clinton than did for Bernie. She had more pledged delegates, elected by the primary voters, going into the convention and the superdelegates didn't even need to vote for her to win the nomination. The party even changed the convention rules starting in 2018 so that the superdelegatees don't even vote unless the pledged delegates (the ones elected by the primary voters) can't elect a candidate in the first vote.
Stay safe and know that you are still valued and welcome by millions of people.
Agree on that. Cheers!
