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!

They have ran on "we're not
insert fascist here!" since Hilary. They don't want another Obama and they are scared as hell of another Bernie.DNC is a business masquerading as a political party at this point. It's not that they haven't learned it's that they are corrupt and don't give a fuck about anything besides keeping the gravy train going through donations when they aren't in power and feigning representation whilst feeding the same monsters as the republicans when the do have power. They are betting that if things get bad enough as they always do people will come crawling back to put the next right winger dem in charge. Ever lunging to the right lock step behind the republicans.
I don't see myself ever voting for another dem that's not left of Bernie and the DNC will never bring that kind of candidate.
There is no choice but to form a new party at this point.
Exacatactly.
I can only speak for myself, but there's nothing the Democratic Party could do to make amends for doing nothing since the election.
If voting is allowed again — which seems an increasingly large 'if' — I'll vote for a candidate who speaks to me, but never again for a Democrat just because they're less awful than the Republican.
