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!

The DNC’s Rules & Bylaws committee is expected to vote on Martin’s proposal next month in a virtual meeting.
That's what the lawyers are supposed to argue. That prevents Jill Stein from saying she's a Democrat and then suing because they didn't give her the presidential nomination.
It may be what lawyers do, but it is not what a democratic system is supposed to do.
If voters decide Jill Stein is what a democrat stands for, she is a Democrat. It's not up to whoever controls the DNC to decide that she shouldn't be a candidate.
“Let me be clear, this is not about shielding incumbents or boosting challengers,” Martin said.
Liar liar pants on fire. These people are so steeped in their own bullshit that they can't even recognize how full of crap they truly are. I'd be willing to bet if this guy could reverse AOC's win in the primary in her district in New York he would do so.
They say the DNC shouldn’t be choosing candidates, but that’s exactly what they want. The system is designed put establishment candidates in place, and keep them there.
How might registered Democrats and Democrat-aligned Americans support Hogg in this? Is there a good way to get the message across to DNC leadership that we WANT what Hogg is doing? That Hogg's plan is better for party in every way?

Dems have a 23% approval rating for voters under 30. As those voters age the dems better turn that around of they are just doomed. They seem to be changing nothing at all and counting on trump to shoot himself in the foot, but they keep mistaking disapproval of trump with approval of the DNC. Thats not how any of that works. They are well on their way to more losing. Idiots.
They need to do something major to win voters back. Primarying every single Democrat is what is necessary. Make them all earn it.
Primary every dem who doesn't support ranked-choice-style voting, then primary every future dem that doesn't work to implement ranked-choice-style voting. Until we abolish the two party system, the choice will always be between a "ruling class" boot licker vs. a worse "ruling class" boot licker.
As a registered democrat (though only because my state requires it to vote in primaries for democrats and I'm certainly not voting republican): pound sand, DNC.
