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 Democratic Party is the Conservative Party. Republicans are far right of that.
Yes, we have a conservative party and a fascist party.
It's a fascist party vs. a big tent "everyone else" party. That's how the #GOP works in lock(goose)step & the Democrats constantly have to deal with pandering, grasping assholes like Manchin & Sinema.
The Democrats aren't a "big tent" party they're a "vote for us or you get the fascists" party.
What purpose does this statement serve aside from venting your frustration and leftist infighting
If you think that leftists disliking Democrats is "leftist infighting" you have a fox news brain definition of what a leftist is.
God just listen to yourself. I never said the democrats were leftists. I said this subject prompts leftist infighting. Use your brain.
Sorry, I assumed you were trying to say something that made any sense at all. Your objection is even dumber than I thought if you think the Democrats' only selling point being that they're not the Republicans is even a remotely controversial point on the left.
You sound like a miserable and shitty person to be around. Go outside.
Same to you. At least I'm not carrying water for liberals excusing genocide.
lol you really just used “no u”, wow. Peak intellectual argument going on here.
We do have a left, they're forced to work with centrists though. While centrists gives election deniers a pass.
Which do you represent?
Assumedly someone not in congress
We do have a left. Not too many of them in the federal government, but tons and tons of us all throughout the working class. Use your brain.
I disagree, there’s a pretty big swath between the polar opposites of the party for democrats in the US. They are both capitalists, yes; but not conservative.
Perhaps more accurate would be a pro democracy party and a pro authoritarianism party.
