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!

From the article:
"He said Democrats are exploring whether they can launch their own version to counter the GOP. "
FFS. Get your thumbs out of your ass and stand up a website with actual factual information. This should have been done way back when it was first noticed, and not still thinking about doing something a few weeks out from the election.
2010 hit the ODP extremely hard. They weren't amazing prior to then, but it's been a disaster after 2010.
Since that loss, the Ohio Democratic Party is famously bad at everything. You're thinking, probably, that I mean they're bad at their jobs. No. They're bad at everything. Their cookouts even suck.
My family is deeply embedded in the ODP. It's failure all the way down. Not even corrupt (on the political spectrum) just... a bizarre combination of "kid who didn't do the reading ad libbing in class" and "totally convinced of their own ability to win without effort"- only they lose fucking constantly
Edit: I will literally never donate to the Ohio Democratic Party until they have a huge shakeup in leadership, and this opinion gets me in hot water with my family constantly. I've had some tense holidays, with people whose politics I 99% share -that's how much I mean it.
