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!

American patriots exploring ways to prevent ALL Republican politicians from ever breathing free air again. The tides will turn and when they do......
I hope that includes the Republican Democrats because there sure seem to be a lot of them.
They should not get a free pass either.
From November 5th to January 20th, a part of me thought somehow Trump wouldn't actually become president
Yeah, same.. How wrong I was.
The Democrats will work with Republicans to rig it against Mamdani
Just as they did against Bernie Sanders back to back
If they just say "no", there will be some serious protests.
It would probably be enough of an excuse for the insurrection act.
Though I think that Wall Street being located in NY protects the city from some of Trump's worst impulses.
You don't want to disturb the traders.
It did not work for their glorious leader on Jan 6, why would it work now?

I wonder if these public statements are meant to persuade Mamdani voters to switch to Cuomo as a "lesser evil" from this chaos. IMO the less attention we give these threats, the better. Congress isn't even in session right now, and should they reconvene; swearing in Adelita Grijalva and voting on the Epstein files are going to be the main points of contention.

In short, "democracy" organized fascism when it felt it could no longer resist the pressure of the working class in conditions even of only formal freedom. Fascism, by shattering the working class, has restored to "democracy" the possibility of existing. In the intentions of the bourgeoisie, the division of labour should operate perfectly: the alternation of fascism and democracy should serve to exclude for ever any possibility of working-class resurgence.
Democracy and fascism - Antonio Gramsci, 1924
Righttt, that's the right thing to do! Democracy be damned!
Traitorous US government trying to figure out ways to screw American citizens and voters even harder. Fixed it for you. The USA has never been about 1 guy and should never be about 1 guy. That's how you become Russia. How's that going for them?
