Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. 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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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!

Fuck Shapiro.

Fuck Newsom.

Harris better not ever show her face in a primary ever again after losing to Trump.

Buttiegieg is cool.

Fuck Beshear.

Fuck JB Pritzker.

Whitmer is cool.

Ro Khanna is alright.

Walz would probably be cool as long as he had a strong VP.

I am unfamiliar with Moore.

Fuck Fetterman.

Hey politico - why no fucking AoC? Why does this list look so full of neoliberal assholes that'll clearly lose to whoever the fuck the GOP puts up?

Whitmer was great during the Trump era (As a conservative, who the fuck decided to vote Trump after he literally shown us what type of president he was as 45. I’m starting to believe I’m not conservative now), as someone who looked logical and counter to Trumps stupid handling of COVID. But then Biden became president and, well, she capitulates too much to corporations. One sticking point for me is that along I94 she is planning to take away a lane for everybody (not bad in and of itself) and make it an autonomous vehicle testing lane. She takes from the people, doesn’t give the people an alternative, and gives to the corporations.

Buttigieg? He’s the ACB of politicians - he doesn’t have enough experience.

I want someone who is willing to use the system to its full extent and fix it (system including it here):

-Warren -AOC

I don't trust Buttigieg's competence after how poorly he handled the port backlog as transportation secretary.

His handling of the train derailment in Ohio was also pretty terrible, and didn't paint a very good picture of his crisis management skills.
