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!

Any House or Senate Democrat over the age of 55 should quit. I'm tired of the trickle down effect they keep pushing. I rather lose the mid-terms to more republicans to finally kill off the centrist demcrats.
The first part, fine. Everyone should be involved with 2026 primaries to help change the Democratic party. Between now and then is our chance. But if the past week alone doesn't convince you that the GOP and Trump must have checks to their agenda ASAP regardless of how much progress is made till the mid-term, I don't know what to tell you.
The reason Trump won twice was bc of how the democrats run shit. People keep saying they want change.
Look at Obama's slogans when he ran. "Yes We Can", "Change We Need.", "Hope", and "Middle Class First".
Hillary - "Hillary For America" and Harris -"We are not going back." fall into the pre-Trump republican slogans. They created Trump and got him elected twice.
Harris could have ran on Universal healthcare or improving the middle class. What did she do instead? I'm not Trump and I have a glock. Look at my friend McCain. See, I'm one of you.
The older dems care about wall street. They are Libertarians, at best. Centrist to republicans at worse. I want a dem to pull trump shit in the opposite direction.
Point of fact, her friends were Liz and Dick Cheney. Which I guess centrists were happy about. Dick Cheney is everything they want to be.
This assumes that party leadership doesn't decide that they like eschewing primaries altogether.
You're not going to change a party that's operating as designed. Voters scream at Biden for months to stop the genocide, his response, what genocide. Voters screened at Harris for months to stop the genocide, her response 'Im speaking.'
They don't give a fuck what you have to say.
